Unknown Uberti Model???

Look at the capping cut on the old one. The Uberti doesn't even have one. They did things different in the past, it looks to be an original to me

It looks like a cobbled together poorly made mess to me.
Hears a thought plus a question.
When did Uberti start making reproduction cartridge guns? If it's not a BP cylinder stuck on a cartridge frame then I would suspect someone modded it themselves which is why everything looks wonky.

Uberti does make replica cartridge guns and has for some time now. I have personally fixed several.
Yeah, I know they do, the question wasn't if they did but when they started making them............

No Capping groove in any of those!!!
Still looking for pictures of older versions or ones with worn finish like the weird barrel version!

Not a great image but it represents several decades of Uberti Pocket Police. From the image, it appears the bottom left and the one above it on the left have a cap groove. These may have been imported by Replica Arms, so very early. If I am in that area of the safe, I will check and get a better image.

Finally got a chance to take an image. Here you can see both revolver with the cap groove,
A closeup of the groove, and the date stamp, XX9 noting 1973.
And just so you can see, the Uberti trademark.
So, in 1973, at least, the cap groove was present in the Pocket Police Model. I will look at the rest of mine to see if we can have an endpoint for the groove.

Hmmm. I just realized that either all of these belonged to Billy Bonney or Henry McCarty or I flipped the image!
Sorry about that!
