Exceptional single-action revolver chambered in .45 Colt, produced by United States Fire Arms Mfg. Co. based out of The Colt Armory complex in Hartford, Connecticut. The company is renowned for their superb quality and finish but went out of business in 2011. This revolver features blued & case hardened finish, 4.75" barrel, blade front sight, 'v' notched rear sight, bulls eye ring ejector, fluted six-shot cylinder, black powder patent dated, 1st gen hammer spur checkering, cylinder pin retaining screw, and smooth two-piece simulated ivory grips. All visible serial numbers match and the barrel is marked "A.Uberti-Italy" on the underside with the typical USFA address on the top. It has been noted that USFA experimented with using Italian parts, though not in the supposed serial number range, this may be one of these experimental guns as the cylinder face also shows Italian marks. The revolver retains approximately 85% of it's original finish showing holster wear, the barrel & cylinder turning slightly plum and some small scattered losses on the frame. Action is crisp, bore is excellent and grips are very good but have not been fitted. These guns retailed for $1250 new, when you could get them. Condition is very good. ***Modern Firearm***
