Project Description
!!!!!SOLD!!!!! This is a 47% scale miniature Colt 1847 Walker revolver made by Uberti in Italy. Finished in the white, brass triggerguard, one piece sterling silver grip. Fully functional, but non-firing, and even sounds like a Colt when you cock the hammer. The cylinder is properly roll stamped with the Ormsby Texas Ranger and Indian fight scene. The left barrel lug stamped US, 1947 just above the wedge screw. The barrel frame, triggerguard, and grip are serial numbered. I have several of these, so serial numbers will vary. These are probably left over from the United States Historical Society “Presidential Edition” miniature Colt Walkers that Uberti made for USHS, as they had these same sterling silver grips. I took one of the grips off to examine it. They are sterling silver, cast in two pieces and soldered together. The one I checked weighed 1.2 ounces, so there’s about $40.00 worth of silver there. 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. A great project for any engraver. !!!!!SOLD!!!!!
