Project Description
!!!!!SOLD!!!!! This is a 47% scale miniature Colt 1861 Navy revolver with detachable shoulder stock, made by Uberti in Italy. Although at first this looks like like a United States Historical Society “Presential Edition” 1861 Colt Navy revolver with detachable shoulder stock, this miniature predates the USHS miniatures & may have been a prototype for the later USHA Colt 1861 Navy miniatures. I’d call this an Uberti “Prestige Edition”, which is expertly and beautifully fully engraved, including the shoulder stock fittings and buttplate almost exactly like the USHS editions. The only noticeable differences being this miniature does not have the Colt barrel address roll stamped onto the top of the barrel, & the under side of the barrel has the very early “UBERTi – FECIT” roll stamp. 12 1/8″ long overall with the shoulder stock attached. The revolver is 6″ long overall with a 3 9/16″ round rifled barrel. Checkered loading lever latch and hammer spur, the hammer with both half & full cock. The left side of the frame marked “COLT’S PATENT”. The left rear of the triggerguard marked “36 CAL”. The barrel, frame, triggerguard, backstrap, & cylinder stamped with the serial number 150. The nut that tightens the revolver to the stock is knurled. Fully functional, but non-firing. The barrel wedge, nipples, screws, hammer, trigger, lanyard ring, and stock locking screws are all a beautiful charcoal “blue” blue. The frame, barrel, cylinder, loading lever, backstrap, triggerguard, shoulder stock fitting, and buttplate are all silver plated. Nicely figured dark rosewood one piece grip and lighter very highly figured rosewood shoulder stock. The piece is in absolute mint condition, showing only some expected age tarnish to the silver plating, more so on the exposed left side. Includes a really nice, maybe factory, hinged top mahogany case with push button latch. The interior French fit & lined in a red velour. There is a rectangular piece of paper in the interior which reads “1861 NAVY COLT PISTOL WITH SHOULDER STOCK, Maker – Uberti Company” in two lines. The bottom of the case is lined in a red cloth. This is the absolute first one of these I have ever seen that was made by Uberti but was not made for the USHS. The case is in nice condition showing some normal minor handling marks. Stock # CK-242. !!!!!SOLD!!!!!
