Don't mean to rain on your parade, but the early USFA revolvers were indeed made with some Uberti parts. You can check your Serial Number against the one on the website Tidewater Kid linked to find out if yours is one or not.

Yes, the USFA revolvers were very well made, rivaling Colt in quality and surpassing all the Italian imports in quality. At one point Colt lowered their prices by about $200 to be more competitive with the USFA guns. The owner was a quirky guy, and he probably was not turning a profit on his Single Action revolvers. A few years ago he shut down all the single action production and started making some crazy 22 caliber semi-auto pistols called Zip Guns. As far as I know, these are still in production.

It is certainly too bad he decided to do this, but he was the sole owner and it was his company to do with as he wanted.
