1873 Cattleman-How old?
« on: December 12, 2010, 08:04:45 PM »
I have been locating parts for an Uberti 1873 Cattleman and it seems it may be an 'old' one, about 25-30 years old. Some parts are quite different than listed parts from Uberti. Is there a way to determine the age of this by serial number? I cannot seem to find any lists. The s/n is B18XX.

Probably not by the SN, but by a code, two alpha characters in a 'box' on the gun proofs. I found this with a Google search, and rather easily, a chart of just such codes. Also, Uberti will be a U in an octagon shaped 'box'.

Should get you closer, anyway.

This site seems to have the date codes used by all Italian gun makers:
