RCA OLD Army

[UmpquaCharlie]

What do they look like? What sort of box did they come in? Were there accessories? Picked up one today it is 23 of 250 but not sure the wooden box is original. It also came with a powder flask, wads a case lock.
Thanks Charlie

Anyone out there have an idea what this is worth? It is new in the wooden box no shipper etc.

If you are referring to the RCA 25th Year Anniversary OA, I have number 63 0f 250 complete with wooden display box & gray plastic box. I paid $1200 for mine in 2011.

Yes I am Lovemydals. I picked it up at a gun show yesterday and am now trying to determine if I bought a pig-in- a-poke. After the show I call Chad of Rene fame and from our conversation I made an offer on one and it was accepted. Mine is 23 of 250 and comes in a wooden display case with a brass powder flask and nipple wrench. Would you describe yours including the gray plastic case and tell me what accompanied the revolver in its display case?
Did they really make 250? I paid less then 600. assuming any old army in a display case has to be worth at least 500.
Thanks for a future information.
Regards Charlie

Since the last of them were marked "___ of 100", I'm thinking there are probably less than 100. I believe it too since you don't hear of them showing up very often.
