Percussion revolver, Hege Uberti, model 1862 Police, .36BP #68-

The arms dealer WH e.K. offers:Percussion revolvers, Hege Uberti, Model 1862 Police, .36BPEncouraged by an ongoing military contract, Colt turned its attention to the civilian market in 1848. Civilian pocket revolvers, such as the Wells Fargo or the 1849 Pocket, were .31 caliber pistols that easily fit into a coat pocket. Just as Colt was able to adapt a .44 cylinder to a .36 frame with silver spring steel, he allowed the .31 caliber 1849 pocket revolver to be upgraded to a .36 caliber. The Pocket Navy of 1862 retains the octagonal barrel and the swinging loading lever of the Navy from 1851, while the 1862 Police model is a miniature of the 1860 Army revolver, featuring a fluted cylinder, streamlined round barrel, and creeping loading lever. Pocket and Police were the last two muzzle-loading models produced by Colt, totaling approximately 47,000. About 19,000 were the Model 1862 Pocket Navy.Type A: 300.150 .36 Police 6.5" barrelType B: 300.151 .36 Police 5.5" barrelType C: 300.152 .36 Police barrel 4.5"Recommended powder weight: 13 - 15 grains Swiss Black Powder No. 2. Recommended .378-inch lead bullet, stamped on the side with Mod.1862 Police.Manufacturer: A.
