Rare, indeed! But I'm sort of wondering if these are essentially Uberti parts guns?

Very interesting. I have Adler's book and am familiar with Dave Anderson and AFF, but never knew he was associated with USFA. So, now I would wonder how many parts in these guns might be from ASM? They sure are good looking, I'll say that.
The USFA guns that would intrigue me the most are some unique wedgeless percussion or conversion guns I saw in a short documentary once. I wonder if Anderson was involved with those?

I know Anderson's association with ASM in the mid to late 90's.
The guns were in the USPFA era, when Donnelson was importing Uberti's.
I also recall, ASM's head guy was Aldo Uberti's son in law. So, it's not too much of a stretch.
Now that I think on it some.... I'm thinking it was the C&B Navies in the USPFA era, they are rare too.

It is interesting the seller states the guns were re-nickeled.

Both Fingers MaGee & CraigC are on this BB, perhaps they will chime in.
I any case, a pair of highly desirable guns.
