I ordered this backstrap from Taylor's & Co. a few weeks ago; it was supposed to be a Pietta 1860 brass piece (yes, I know most 1860's are blued steel), but it is not even close. It mates to the two frame screw holes just fine but the bottom screw hole does not come close to aligning with the bottom trigger guard hole with either of my 1851 trigger guards (round/oval or squareback).

I'd like someone to chime in as to what it is (model/manufacturer) and offer it to someone who can use it. I'm guessing it may be a Uberti 1873 piece. Fingers McGee previously sent me an 1851 squareback TG for free and only requested that I pay it forward. If someone can use it, let me know.





Sorry for the long await. Mazo Kid wanted it, but in some confusion his PM did not come in time and I gave it to someone else. Sorry Mazo.  Maybe some other time, eh?
