The center Uberti was done very nicely. They gave it the black powder frame with bullseye ejector and one piece grips. There should be a 3 line patent date along with the serial # on the cylinder, but my eyes are going and can't tell, but even if not it certainly has that early 1870's appearance along with the finish applied. That's as close to a 1st generation as you're gonna get. From a short distance it sure looks like an old colt. Very nice and the others are as well.
