Hello all. My first post to a great site.

 

I am receiving a ASM 1860 Army cap and ball pistol (the owner is deceased). I have a few questions.

 

1) Do I need to have a pistol permit for this? ( Or any other permit beside my FID)

2) Is it considered a replica?

3) Any idea on worth?

4) Why is this state so difficult? (Sorry had to say it)

 

Thanks all.

1) yes

2) if it fires a projectile, it is not a "non-firing replica"

3) pictures will help

4) welcome to NJ

Thanks for the help!

 

What should I do about the permit since the owner is deceased?

Who has possession of the handgun? Was it willed to you, specifically? If not, you will need a P2P.

 

Thanks for the help!

thanks I'll get on it.

Was this willed to you? Is the revolver in NJ?

Thanks for the info all. Staying away from this one for now.

ASM pistols are worth slightly more than what you would get at a gun buyback, and they don't make spare parts for them anymore. You'd have to pay and find a gun smith to hand fit Pietta or Uberti parts, good luck with that in NJ.
