All of Mike's videos are really good; however, he sometimes doesn't get things 100% accurate.  He states that the Italians started making brass framed revolvers on the 70s -   _l" WRONG  They started making them in the late 50's.  The first replicas made by Gregorelli & Uberti for Navy Arms in 1958 were 10 1851 Navies and 6 Griswold and Gunnisons.  I have a pair of G&Gs made in 1959 and 1960 & have had a late 1960s G&G with Uberti stamping as well.
