Uberti-61-Navy-pr-W-237-240-1.JPG

This is a pair of 47% scale Colt 1861 Navy revolver by Uberti in Italy.  6 1/8" long overall with a 3 1/2" long rifled barrel.  Finished in the white.  Serial #'s are  237 and 240, and are stamped into the frame, triggerguard, and backstrap.  The cylinder is roll engraved with the Ormsby naval cylinder scene.  The triggerguard stamped 36 CAL on the left side just at the rear of the trigger.  Blade type front sight.  Checkered hammer spur.  Beautiful extra fancy oil finished walnut one piece grips with killer grain! These were special ordered from Uberti in the white to be finished here in U.S., and actually cost more than a finished miniature!  None of the parts have been hardened, so they will be much easier to engrave.  If you've ever wanted to build your dream miniature Colt 1861 Navy revolver, or build an exact copy of your full size 1861 Colt, here's the chassis to build it on!  Buy one or both, but sure would make a nice cased pair!
