Need help identifying Uberti model.

[Fish1369]

Picked this up at a yardsale a while back for $50. Seller knew nothing about it. I've tried identifying which model it is with no definite conclusion. It says "Engraved 18 May 1843" on the cylinder. Hoping someone can shed some light on it. Thanks in advance.

Heck of a deal for $50!

It is an 1851 Colt Navy .36 made by Uberti. It has the uncommon square back trigger guard with plated back strap and trigger guard.

The "Engaged 16 May 1843" on the cylinder also is seen on the Colt models 1860 Army and 1861 Navy.

If that's an "AP" in the box it's 1986

Would that be a replica “London model“ 1851 .

I've not seen the Uberti mark on the frame before the ones I have seen were on the underside of the barrel.

That’s a very old version… OP you scored! Maybe pick up a lottery ticket on the way home!

By 86 I believe they were marked by the “U inside the rifled muzzle” Marque… but I could be wrong about that.

I confirm that if AP, I struggle to read the acronym in the square, is from 1986, a nice piece still produced by the Uberti company before the acquisition by Beretta

 

[Gianki]

If you like this is the list of production of weapons in Italy, these acronyms are also affixed to all imported weapons

Thanks for the info Robert. Interesting. Definitely a Naval scene engraved on the cylinder.

It's definitely A/P. ('86)
