The xxii italian proof code confirms 1966 production, placing this revolver among the early generation of uberti-made civil war reproductions imported during the height of centennial-era interest in percussion arms. this 1966 example retains about 70% of its original finish, with strong remaining blue and case colors contrasted by tarnished brass, intermittent oxidation, localized rust, and honest operational wear.

This is an appealing early navy arms/uberti percussion revolver for the collector of civil war reproduction arms or early italian black-powder imports.
