Project Description
!!!!!SOLD!!!!! !!!!!SPECIAL SALE!!!!! Notice anything unusual looking at the photos? This is a 47% scale miniature Colt 1847 Walker revolver made by Uberti in Italy. 7 3/8″ long overall with a 4 3/16″ rifled barrel of .210 caliber. Charcoal blue & case colored finish, one piece sterling silver grip. I was puzzled looking at these until I realized they have blue steel triggerguards instead of yellow brass or gold plated brass! 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 two of these, so serial numbers will vary. These are left over from the United States Historical Society “Presidential Edition” miniature Colt Walkers that Uberti made. Uberti finished up some un-engraved leftovers and sold them at the end of production when they were selling off all their miniature inventory. 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 maybe $25.00 worth of silver there. But why the blue steel triggerguards, beats the heck out of me! Two available, stock #’s MM-26 & MM-33. !!!!!SOLD!!!!!
