First trip to this spot' Found foundation, then this pistol:hello2: Home owner was a Civil War Vet, I was geeked! Got home sent pics to two antique fire arms friends, and they both came to the same conclusion, based on the numbers and another mark on the brass frame......................It is a very good Uberti reproduction of a 36 cal. Cap and Ball Navy revolver:BangHead: 0417170928a.jpg 0417170948.jpg 0417170949.jpg 0417171246.jpg 0417171216.jpg 1741713333395.jpg Oh well it was a thrill on a nice day

Very cool find. I would never have guess reproduction.

Me either, I had two antique firearms guys excited, till I found that Uberti stamp, with my USB Micro scope! What a roller coaster ride
