That octagon to round barrel is just too sweet! So I assume the short barrel G&G is a fantasy piece? If so, I didn't think Uberti made fantasy C&B revolvers. Maybe they use to?

Yeah, it hurt to let that one go. I had probably thirty hours work into it, but I bought it to flip and needed my investment back.
I'm sure there were more than a few that turned their G&G's into 'shopkeeper's guns' after the war.

Well, how about a Leech and Rigdon sheriffs model?  In .36 with blank cylinder.  That's a Schneider & Glassick photobombing in the background.
