I received my new Uberti 1861 Navy revolver today and I wonder when it was manufactured. Serial #D61934 and CZ is in the square.

I like the Uberti 1861 better than the Pietta 1861 because as both are 4-screw frames CFS (cut-for-stock) but the Pietta does not have the bottom backstrap cutout for the shoulder stock. Go figure, and I am a big Pietta 1851 Navy "type" revolver fan.
CZ is 2020. Here is the current Italian date code list.

Thank you for the help!
What if my uberti does not have one of those stamps on it?
I have a cimarron model 66 and it was made by uberti, researching it today I learned that cimmeron started in the early 80s so it's not as old as I thought, I used to think it might have been made in the 1960s because it has a serial number below 3,000, but I also see people saying that back then only Henry's and model 73s were made.
These are about the only marks I can find on it

Thank you for posting this, as it came in very handy to figure out that my Uberti Cattleman revolver was made in 1974.Welcome to the forum

I'd like to know when my Uberti 51Navy was made. Serial #1573. Navy Arms CO. stamped on the left side frame.
Above the wedge on the right side of the barrel is Made in Italy, and just below that - AU in script.
Top of the barrel near the cylinder - --- Navy Arms Co. ---
Those are the only markings on the gun - no proof marks, nothing. It doesn't appear to have been defarbed, so I'll bet this is how it was new. In fact, it probably hadn't been touched by a technician, because the loading lever was extremely stiff barely moving requiring fitting (not due to old grease) and the main spring was so stiff it was a two-thumb hammer.
