Manufactured by Aldo Uberti & Co. of Italy for E.M.F. Co. Known as the Colt 1862 Pocket Police revolver, this revolver is neatly finished, with a blued round barrel, half-fluted cylinder, color case hardened frame, brass back-strap and triggerguard, reddish brown walnut grips, and color case hardened loading lever. This revolver is used with some handling marks in the finish, and the left hand grip has developed a drying crack. The .36 caliber revolver has a five shot half fluted cylinder. The 6-1/2" tapered round barrel is fitted with a small bead sight fitted behind the muzzle. The rear sight is a notch in the hammer to maximize the available sight radius. The barrel is stamped EMF Co. L.A. Cal. on the top of the barrel. The frame is stamped with the A. Uberti & Co. Gardone VT Italy on the left side.
The factory recommends .375" round balls, and each chamber will hold 25 grains of FFFg powder. We recommend 15 grains of GOEX FFFg powder, and a .380" round ball, for best accuracy and best compression. Cover each ball with a small amount of bullet lubricant grease. Despite your best efforts, this revolver will need to be cleaned after 12 or 18 shots. Remove the wedge, barrel, and cylinder. Wipe the face of the cylinder, and wipe the cylinder pin. This Uberti revolver uses a 7-.75mm threaded pocket model nipple.
If you continue to load and fire a badly fouled revolver, the effort needed to cock and fire the gun will become greater, causing the small internal hand, spring, and cylinder latch to become worn and slightly damaged. Continued abuse will cause the cylinder and latch to become out-of-time. Simple cleaning and maintenance will prevent problems. We can supply a correct Colt style flask, balls, mold, and everything you need for your percussion revolver.
The brass has a mellow patina from long storage. Priced right, this well made revolver is ready for an enjoyable day at the range. It is light enough to handle easily, and just large enough to fill a man's hand. Order it for a ten day visual inspection. You will be delighted. Else if it does not fit you, return it in unfired condition for same-day refund. Postage is your only risk, when you order any one-of-a-kind gun from Track, whether new, used, or antique.
