!!!!!SOLD!!!!! Uberti 47% Scale Colt 1860 Army Prototype Percussion Revolver With Rare 4 Screw Frame And Detachable Shoulder Stock, Serial # 347 !!!!!SOLD!!!!!

!!!!!SOLD!!!!!  This is almost exactly the same as a “Classic Edition” United States Historical Society 47% scale miniature Colt 1860 Army revolver, except it is what is called the “four screw frame”, and comes with the detachable shoulder stock.  The revolver is 6 1/2″ long overall with a 3 23/32″ round rifled barrel.  With the shoulder stock attached the overall length is 12 9/16″.  Fully functional, but non-firing.  Blue and case colored finish with a one piece beautifully figured oil finished rosewood grip.  “.44 Cal” marked triggerguard, the front left of the frame marked “COLT’S, PATENT” in two lines.  Roll engraved cylinder with the Ormsby naval sailing ship battle scene.  Serial number 347 stamped into the bottom of the barrel lug,  frame, triggerguard, backstrap, and the interior recess of the brass stock yoke.  The side of the cylinder is marked “COLT’S PATENT No 36, PAT SEPT 10TH, 1850”.  The detachable stock has a yellow brass yoke, and buttplate, with blued hardware.  The stock is a beautifully figured piece of rosewood.  Excellent near mint condition with only a couple of tiny hairline scratches on the side of the hammer from friction with the frame.  This miniature was  made by Uberti, probably for the USHS under license from Colt, in the mid 80’s. This was likely one of a short prototype run as all I have ever seen are in a close serial number range in the 300’s.  I have seen about ten of these over the last 30 odd years, and about half had fluted cylinders.  I think, for whatever reason, they decided not to offer them to their clientele.  Unlike most of the other Uberti miniature Colt revolvers, which were made until about 2008, these miniature 1860 Colt revolvers have not been made in over 40 years.  This is an extremely rare Uberti miniature, and only maybe the fifty I have ever had the pleasure of offering for sale.  !!!!!SOLD!!!!!
