I recently picked up three revolvers from an estate sale, a stainless 1858 (marked ASM under the loading lever), a nickle-plated engraved 1860 (also ASM under loading lever) and a brass-frame, nickle-plated, engraved 1851 (marked "W 213 of 1,000" on the right/diagonal barrel flat, no other marks I've found without taking it apart). According to an old TFL topic they were made in 1984 or 1991 based on the short 'ASM' label.
All three appear unfired, minor turn marks on the cylinders and the finishes have some scratches but nothing big. The 1860 is missing the trigger and two screws and also the front sight. The 1858 and 1851 are complete and functional.
Probably going to sell the 1860 locally since I wouldn't know how to fix the trigger and sight, and I'm wondering about the value on all three of them. Any insights or knowledge about what I've got?
