- A. Uberti factory cardboard box with Stoeger label for Model 0070 1862 Police 6.5 in .36
This 1862 Police is a faithful cap-and-ball percussion reproduction with an open-top Colt-pattern design. It is compact, single-action, and purpose-built for .36 caliber black powder use, as correctly marked on the barrel.
The 6.5 in round blued barrel uses a wedge-retained lug and a creeping loading lever. Inside, a 7-groove, left-hand twist provides well-defined rifling that is clean and sharp.
The revolver pairs a color case-hardened steel frame with a fluted 5-shot blued steel cylinder. It wears a blued barrel, brass trigger guard and backstrap, and a one-piece walnut grip with a gloss finish.
Sighting is straightforward with a fixed brass front sight and a hammer-notch rear. Markings include the barrel legend "CAL. 36 BLACK POWDER ONLY – A. UBERTI ITALY," Italian proof marks, and a circled "24" proof. Factory identifiers include model code 0070 and manufacturer part number 340700, with Stoeger noted as the importer per the box label.
