Just found got one at my shop, and have no idea it's value...Owner wants to consign it, but have gotten quotes from $200-$500..It's is in near new condition.  Any help in this matter would be deeply appreciated...Purgatory Pic

Well, depends.  To CAS folks, there not worth much.  Can't be used for CAS.  Basically, a big dollar plinker when new.  A very expensive plinker, considering the cost of BP/Subs and balls.
I'd just check the blue book of gun values and cross your fingers.  Or, just hand it back to the owner and tell im "no thanks."

Good Luck

If we are talking about the muzzle loading version of the Uberti Cattleman they are used in the UK for CAS as we are not allowed cartridge handguns.

I use two of them, one a very early model and one I purchased a few months ago that is superb and will give me groups about 2-3 inches at about 15-17 yards.

Cylinder loads of the gun with DD's loader and I use an old Lyman/Ideal bullet mold 450229 which is hollow base and is far more accurate than ball in my pistols.

The cost of the pistols new in the UK (IF YOU CAN GET THEM) is £345.

Ned,
All we'ed need to do, is figure out how to import them into the UK without an extended stay in the TOWER
