The replicas and reproductions of the guns that were made 100 or more years ago. For example: the 1874 Sharps used in "Quigley Down Under". That gun was produced by Shiloh Sharps just prior to the the movie in 1990. Technically it is a re-production of the original Sharps, since it actually bears the name and is manufactured by Shiloh Sharps. At the time of manufacture, the gun was a custom one off and cost in the neighborhood of $1100. Sharp's today's price of a copy the very same rifle is 3x that. Other manufacturers (Pedersoli, Uberti, Chiappa,etc) who are making replicas, are getting almost 2/3 of that, even though they are made overseas and don't actually bear the famous name.
