Just won these two on Gunbroker. Made in 1983 and unfired. They will be shot. Will probably be my main match guns once they get broken in.

Square backs!
They have found a good home with many brethren!
I'm eager to see them perform.

I saw those sitting there on Gunbroker. But I don't think they were listed as stainless steel Uberti revolvers.
Were they Fingers? .

Nice. Should be lots of fun. Let us know how they shoot. Pics are always nice.

Yes, they were listed as Stainless Steel. Listing ws for "Uberti stainless engraved black powder revolver "
Of course the only engraving was the roll engraved naval battle scene on the cylinder. They were imported by Allen Firearms of Santa Fe, NM and are two more in my search for these rare Uberti Stainless Colt's. Total known & documented is now up to 31.

That's right after seeing that auction but I didn't PM you because I thought you had '51 Colts already.

I saw the listings shortly after they were posted. I waited till an hour or so before the end to place a bid. Didn't want the price to get ridiculous. I like 3 or 7 day auctions; not 14 day ones. Prices go up that way.
I've got an 1851 already - along with six other models; but, I'll bid on every SS Uberti that comes along. The more the merrier

Very nice! Did you see the SS Uberti 1860 Army's the same guy had? They each went for over $800.

They weren't Ubertis. They were 2nd Gens and actually went for a decent price. 100% condition is worth $950 according to the Blue Book.

Now you need either ebony or ivory grips. Purty guns.

There are a few more Second Generation 1860 Colts on there now with a few bids at $825.00 and $875.00, but they haven't met the reserve.

I seem to recall seeing the stainless Model 1860s for sale way back when but didn't know they made any Model 1851s.
I second the notion of American Holly wood for the grips. Have a pair on my Ruger Flattop Blackhawk and they look great.

Fingers has at least one pair of American Holly grips that are very pretty.

From 1983 to 1987, Uberti made 16 different models of SS Colt's. Colt made stainless steel 1851, 1860, and 1861 revolvers in 1981/82.

Beautiful guns! I have one that I haven't fired yet. Fingers McGee, yes it is a stainless Uberti 51 navy. Tried to post a picture of it but it didn't work for some reason.
