Years ago, the company Armi San Marco used to manufacture a Richards conversion type 1 revolver. It was made like the originals, complete with the flat- faced hammer, the rear sight built into the top of the conversion ring and the floating firing pin built into the receiver. Time has passed. Armi San Marco is no longer in business, and no one is currently making a copy of the Richards conversion type 1 revolver. Those who wish to have a copy are now having gunsmiths individually convert them. They are beautiful pieces, but as you already know, quality gunsmithing is expensive.
I would like to see the folks at Cimarron firearms and/or Taylors and company bring out a new copy of the Richards type 1 conversion made by either Uberti or Pietta. A caliber selection of .45 Colt, .44 special and 38 special would be nice.
.
I have always felt that the Richards type 1 conversion was the most moderen of the Richard type conversions of the Colt 1860 Army revolver. Actor Tom Selleck carried one in the movie, "Last Stand at saber River".
Maybe if some of us would," put the bug into the ear" of Cimarron or Taylors and company, they could convince Uberti or Pietta to fill the conversion type 1 void, and maybe we could see a new Richard's type 1 conversion in a year or two.
