Stainless Steel Uberti Colt's

[Fingers McGee]

Well, I've managed to snag another one of the SS Uberti Colt's thanks to tljack. 1862 Pocket Police with a 5 1/2 inch barrel and a 50 lb hammer pull - at least is seems that heavy



I am still on the lookout for the location of, and any information available on the line of stainless steel percussion Colt revolvers made by Uberti and imported by Allen Firearms, Santa Fe, NM; Southwest Muzzleloaders Supply, Inc. Angleton, TX, Uberti USA, and possibly others in the early to mid '80s. Phil Spangenberger did an article about these stainless revolvers in the October 1983 issue of Guns and Ammo Magazine. According to the article, the models that were being imported were the 1851 Navy, 1860 Army, 1861 Navy, 1862 Pocket Navy, and 1862 Pocket police. Thanks to Dr. J.L. Davis of RPRCA, Claremore, OK, I have a 1984 price list for Uberti products that lists fourteen different models of Stainless Steel Colts produced by Uberti at that time. Subsequent price lists expanded the line to 16 models by adding 4 ½ inch barreled Pocket Navy and Pocket Police. The complete model list, known so far, is:

1851 Navy, Oval Triggerguard Revolver, Cal. .36
1851 Navy Squareback Triggerguard Revolver, Cal. .36 *@
1851 Navy “Sheriff’s Model” Oval Triggerguard Revolver, Cal. .36 *
1851 Navy “Sheriff’s Model” Squareback Triggerguard Revolver, Cal. .36
1860 Army Military, Cut For Stock, Cal. .44 *@
1860 Army Military, With Fluted Cylinder, Revolver, Cal. .44*@
1861 Navy Military, Cut For Stock, Revolver, Cal. .36 * @
1861 Navy Civilian, Revolver, Cal. .36
1861 Navy Military, With Fluted Cylinder, Revolver, Cal. .36

1862 Police, Semi-Fluted Cylinder, Revolver, Cal. .36, Barrel 4 ½”
1862 Police, Semi-Fluted Cylinder, Revolver, Cal. .36, Barrel 5 ½”*@
1862 Police, Semi-Fluted Cylinder, Revolver, Cal. .36, Barrel 6 ½”
1862 Pocket Navy, Engraved Cylinder, Revolver, Cal. .36, Barrel 4 ½”*
1862 Pocket Navy, Engraved Cylinder, Revolver, Cal. .36, Barrel 5 ½”*@
1862 Pocket Navy, Engraved Cylinder, Revolver, Cal. .36, Barrel 6 ½”
(* - have identified location of examples of these models)
(@ - have this model)

So far, I have six of these revolvers and know of eighteen others in hands of other collectors or BP shooters. Anyone with information concerning Allen Firearms, Southwest Muzzleloaders Supply or any other Uberti Stainless Steel Colt style revolvers is requested to contact [email protected] I am seeking information as to models, manufacture dates, serial numbers, barrel markings, barrel lengths, trigger guards, and any other characteristics as well as any catalog, brochure and original packaging information.

Of course, if anyone has any for sale, I would be interested in that also.

Thanks in advance for any info.

Fingers, there's a Uberti stainless proto type with papers authenticating it being a proto type on GB right now for about $550.00. Your welcome...would you like me to give you my address so's you can send me that PP you just snagged as a thank you for the heads up?

 

[Fingers McGee]

Thanks. I've seen the prototypes. They're not what I'm looking for.

Keep looking though.

Snagged another SS Uberti Pocket Police

Just bought this Pocket Police on GB. This one with a 4 1/2 inch barrel made in 1985

 

[dickydalton]

Nice.

 

[Crawdad1]

Fingers, we got to find you some Police revolvers with 6 1/2 inch barrels.

Fingers, we got to find you some Police revolvers with 6 1/2 inch barrels.

I know. A pair would be nice; but, then I'd need holsters and I just ordered holsters for the 5 1/2 inch ones. I guess I'd need a pair for each barrel length. Darn the luck

 

[dickydalton]

Which holsters did you order. I have the Dell's Leatherworks flap type.

 

[Fingers McGee]

I've got a custom pair of Slim Jims with nickel spots to match my other regular CAS rig.
