Sure, there are a colossal number of the 1861s that have been made over the years, but how many will have the box and all accessories that came with it going forward, and in impeccable condition? Those examples will be in demand in the years ahead, those that have been well worn with replaced parts or missing paperwork/accessories will not be as valuable. I don't think they will zoom in value but there is now a floor under them, no more 1861s wlll be made. I see a few BNIB examples now being sold at zero discount on the grey market, that's new and not unexpected.
