What’s Included
- A Uberti 1849 Pocket .31 caliber cap-and-ball revolver
The steel barrel, frame, cylinder, and receiver provide a solid build, while the brass grip frame and trigger guard add classic pocket-revolver styling. The one-piece hardwood grip offers a traditional feel consistent with the model’s pattern.
The 6-inch octagonal barrel incorporates an under-barrel loading lever for charging the chambers. The fixed sighting setup uses a brass bead front and a notch in the hammer for a simple, period-correct sight picture.
This reproduction follows the open-top Colt pattern and is secured by a transverse wedge. It uses a five-shot, round non-fluted cylinder and operates in single-action only, consistent with cap-and-ball percussion design.
Markings include ".31 cal" and "BLACK POWDER ONLY" on the barrel, along with "MADE IN ITALY" and a D.G.W. importer stamp. An external number "87051" is visible on the gun, while a human-reported serial "000632" is noted separately; this discrepancy is recorded for identification purposes.
