I just happened to find this in a pawnshop 2 weeks ago, what was cool about it there was blackpowder in the flask.. plus I never owned a Euroarms 1860 Army before and rarely do I see BP guns in my local pawnshop... so I had to get it... paid $165. The box and gun was much dirtier and fouled with blackpowder than what you see in the pictures when I bought it, I've shot it since with 777 and cleaned it up some, everything works great.
I want to confirm the date on it... I think it's 1974, there is XXX above the trigger guard, I'm assuming this is the date marks for it according to this pdf link https://store.bluebookinc.com/Info/PDF/POWDER/MBPProofmarks.pdf
Also, would like to know if a newer cylinder would fit in this one, 'if its a 1974'... a extra one would be handy. If so, where would be a good place to get one on the net. Maybe find some spare parts would be nice to.
Chazz.
I stuck some black foam in the box because the felt is soaked in BP... probably redo the box sometime.
