FIGURE 07:

Infamous Uberti disclaimer found underneath the barrel, (covered up by the loading lever).

So who's gonna figure it out? Is this REALLY an Uberti? I don't know, I don't have the experience and knowledge to tell.

The revolver I have been reviewing and photographing is for sale here:

This is helping:

Modern Black Powder Proof Marks

The Dixie page says, "Manufactured in Italy by Uberti." If that is true the law requires that it have the "U" in the Octagon mark.

Do I have a "Frankenstein" revolver?
