Built on the classic Single Action Army pattern, this Uberti reproduction pairs a 5.5-inch barrel with a fluted six-shot cylinder for the traditional "Artillery" setup. The .45 Colt chambering and single-action-only mechanism deliver the configuration enthusiasts expect from this style of revolver.
This example was imported by Mitchell Arms and carries the correct Italian proof house markings, "A. UBERTI - ITALY," importer designation, CAT. 1519 code, and an Italian square letter-date code. These markings clearly identify its origin and import history.
The revolver is constructed with steel throughout and finished in a bright high-polish that extends across the frame, barrel, and cylinder. Smooth varnished hardwood grips complete the plow-handle profile associated with this model.
Sighting is straightforward with a rounded blade front and a top-strap notch rear. A crescent-profile ejector head sits on the right side for cartridge extraction, staying true to the Single Action Army format.
