Percussion revolver, Hege-Uberti model 1860 Army, .44BP #39-

The arms dealer WH e.K. offers:Percussion (Combat) revolver, Hege-Uberti model 1860 Army, .44BPWhen black powder shooting was rediscovered in the 1960s, the first replicas hit the market. Countless small and micro businesses in Italy, Spain, and Belgium produced more or less faithful reproductions of the weapons from the American pioneer era, including the 1851 Navy. Many of these businesses soon went out of business or were displaced or absorbed by larger companies. Today, firms like Armi San Marco, Pietta, and Uberti in Italy, as well as Armi San Paolo in Spain, still manufacture the 1851. Among these, the Italian company Uberti (which belongs to the Beretta group) holds the top position among replica manufacturers in terms of detail fidelity, workmanship, and material quality.Samuel Colt designed a particularly stable revolver around the lightweight frame for the then-new caliber .44. With a color-hardened steel frame and steel backstrap, as well as a brass trigger guard. This model was considered the ultimate combat weapon of the muzzleloader era. The Navy of 1851 was an enlarged version of the pocket model from 1849 in caliber .36. The handy, more powerful revolver quickly found a following among soldiers and civilians and was eventually adopted by both the US and British military. By the beginning of the Civil War, Colt had refined the Navy into a sleek, streamlined weapon with an improved loading lever. The Navy of 1861 is often celebrated as Colt's most beautiful pistol. Colt worked to perfect his cap and ball revolver by designing the Army of 1860 around a lightweight frame but chambered for the stronger .44 caliber ball. The first models featured rifled cylinders, while later models included a ribbed cylinder for added strength and a "creeping" loading lever for easier loading. The sleek Army of 1860 is regarded as the ultimate combat pistol of the percussion era.Manufacturer: A.
