What's Included
- A. Uberti Model 1873 Cattleman Factory Engraved revolver (.45 ACP)
The engraving is extensive and well-executed, with scroll coverage on the barrel, ejector housing, frame, cylinder, topstrap, backstrap, and butt. A cross-hatch panel accents the frame-to-barrel juncture, adding a distinctive visual cue to the factory work.
The revolver retains the classic single-action layout with an external hammer featuring a checkered wide spur and a smooth trigger. Fixed sights consist of a blade front and a topstrap groove rear, consistent with the 1873 pattern.
Chambered in .45 ACP, this Cattleman highlights a less common cartridge choice for the SAA-style platform. The barrel is marked 'MOD. 1873' and 'CAL. 45 ACP,' and the left frame carries a Colt-style patent legend.
Construction is all steel with a bright silver-tone finish across the frame, receiver, and cylinder. It includes a six-shot fluted cylinder, a crescent (half-moon) ejector-rod head, and a screw-retained cylinder base pin (black-powder-frame style) with a slotted screw at the front of the frame.
Originating from Italy, this is a faithful reproduction of the 1873 design. It bears a STOEGER - ACCOKEEK MD importer marking and Italian proof/inspection stamps, including a 'B1' date/inspection code.
