    I don't know if this is correct or not, as it happened years ago? BUT, believe the company (U.S. Arms Co.) who made your Seville's started out in business in New York State approximately mid 1970's, making single action revolvers under the Abilene name. Apparently they ran afoul of Bill Ruger, because they were using his transfer bar system in their revolvers. He sued the s**t out of them, and won.
    They subsequently moved to Tucson (United Sportings Arms, Inc) and started making single actions under the Seville name. Didn't work out, as they went belly up in the mid 80's.

    Sevilles are great handguns. I love both of mine. Go to this link for some history and information:

    :www.singleactions.com/Seville.pdf

    In excellent condition, I feel Sevilles are worth between $500- $800.

    rufe-snow,

    If you go to www.singleactions.com and look up Seville under United Sporting Arms you will be able to read a lot about their history.
