What's Included
- A Uberti 1873 Cattleman Black Powder Percussion revolver (.44 caliber)
The revolver is configured as a cap-and-ball percussion model with a full-length under-barrel loading lever and rammer. The cylinder is six-flute and six-shot, aligning with traditional percussion practice while maintaining the 1873 Cattleman profile.
Construction details include a color case-hardened frame paired with blued barrel and cylinder. The smooth one-piece wood grip complements the classic lines and balance associated with this pattern.
Sighting is straightforward and period-correct: a rounded blade front sight and a topstrap groove rear. The action is single-action percussion, consistent with the historical design cues replicated here.
Markings and origin are clearly defined by Italian PN black powder proof and Gardone Val Trompia proof marks. The frame carries a Colt-style 1871/72/75 patent legend, and the piece is explicitly a reproduction, offering a faithful interpretation of the original style.
