Built by A. Uberti and marked for Cimarron, this 1872 Open Top adheres to the classic open-top profile with a wedge-retained forged steel barrel and a rear sight integral to the barrel. The action is single-action-only, with the loading gate and ejector rod on the right side for traditional operation.
The color case-hardened steel frame contrasts cleanly with the blued barrel and cylinder. Brass components include the trigger guard and backstrap, paired with a one-piece high-polish walnut grip for an authentic period look and feel.
The non-fluted 6-shot cylinder is factory roll-engraved with a naval scene, a signature detail on many 19th-century pattern revolvers. Fixed sights consist of a front blade and the rear notch cut integral to the barrel.
