On the frame will be 2 letters stamped in a box. That will tell us the manufactured date.

In 2021 they started using the last two numbers of the date instead of letters. My dragoon made in 2013 had the full date under the trigger guard.

There are no letters stamped in a box anywhere on this pistol that I can find.

Oops! I found it finally on the side of the frame. It was kinda camouflaged by the case hardening. It is a number 21 in a box. Manufactured in 2021

Zulch, I read on the cap and ball website that in 2020 uberti went to putting the last two digits of the year in the box. According to the same site yours was made in 2004

Hi kwc271, there are few BP revolvers that are a cool as the Walker. Attached is a photo of my two Walkers. The one on top was a kit that I had nitride finished. The bottom Walker is original Uberti.with a cylinder that I nickel finished. As you may know, Walker cylinders were never blued because it would soften the work hardened wrought iron cylinder. Both Walkers has had the arbor length fixed. I regularly shoot .45 Colt using a conversion cylinder with them. My wife now getting up in age suggested I get a walker for her. I told her that I already had two that I could loan her. LOL  (7+" (7+" (7+"

Regards,
Richard

I agree with Mick. The bottom one is outstanding.

Thank you everyone for the kind words! I’m planning on making a display case for my Walker, but now I’m looking for the flask and nipple wrench. Unfortunately all the flasks I’ve been able to find are really expensive, and that’s the reproductions.
