M1860 Army made/ imported by Replica Arms Inc. Marietta, OH made by Uberti. Date code XVIII indicates 1962 mfg! Bore is excellent, has Slixxshot nipples and an action smoothing by The Cowboy Kid. Case colors look great as does the blue which has patina’d over the years. Nice patina on the grips which fit the gun perfectly. This is a really early gun in great condition with a great action.

Short History of Replica Arms
Leonard Frank Allen started Replica Arms, El Paso, TX in 1962 with the first 1847 Army replica, made by Armi San Marco. In 1965 Replica Arms was sold and moved to Marietta, OH.

Mr. Allen then started Western Arms, Santa Fe, N.M. Winchester filed an action because Western Arms was the name of their ammunition. Western Arms then was named Allen Arms, Santa Fe, N.M. In 1984 Mr. Allen entered into a joint venture with Mike Harvey and his company, Bigfoot, in importing replicas from Uberti. This turned into Old West Company of Texas Inc. and then to Cimarron Firearms, Fredericksburg, TX.

Replica Arms, Marietta, OH was purchased by Navy Arms, Ridgefield, N.J. Since Replica Arms was almost as big as Navy Arms and it’s biggest competitor, the Replica Arms name was retained and barrels were marked, “REPLICA ARMS RIDGEFIELD N.J.” This was gradually changed to, “NAVY ARMS Co. RIDGEFIELD N.J.”, on the barrel and the Replica Arms Logo on the frame.
