Greetings,
I have an opportunity to pick up a used Uberti 1860 Colt Army. Bore and chambers looked rust free, and it looked as if it had not been shot too much.
Had some scratches in the bluing, and the wood was nicked a little. All the mechanicals seemed tight.
I found an Italian date code chart with which I hope to figure out how old it is.
I suspect the gun is probably 20 or 30 years old, but just an educated guess.
Any thoughts, comments, and experience on the quality level of older Uberti's versus brand new ones will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Brownie
