I have a Uberti Colt peacemaker blank firer .38 which I paid around £400.00 for about 9 years ago. It is seriously a thing of beauty and quality. I can bring it to the boinger bash if you would like a gander!!
On a recent visit to Brighton I saw some Uberti miniature pistols in WH Westons store. They are expensive, and I mean EXPENSIVE! But they are cool in a 47% of the real thing kinda way, but they are expensive.
I have a Pietta Colt 1851 in .36 in France and was toying with getting the blank firing version as a display piece for the UK, but the scale ones are starting to tempt me.
Someone please talk me out of it!

Did you know they are expensive?
Seriously, I wouldn't view Uberti miniatures as any sort of investment like most others, they are produced in too great a number.
I have a miniature Colt revolver (though I never quite figured out what model) maker unknown, that will only ever increase in worth.

Absolutely right. I think my Uberti is still exactly the same price as when I bought it. Although not a brilliant investment mine is on display at home and inevitably my boy will inherit it when I pop me clogs!!!
Mine does not exactly match any original Colt I can find, makes me wonder it it is a miniature of a replica perhaps.

That is indeed beautiful
Not a Colt revolver, but I do have this little 1/2 size Colt No 3 pocket pistol.
