Uberti miniatures

[magicesperanto]

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.
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.

I never considered it as an investement, just a toy. I like to have them to fiddle with occasionally, I like the clicks and clunks. Firing my black powder 1851 ruins it, it gets all grubby and smelly!

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.

What do the panel think? https://www.flickr.com/photos/819672...posted-public/

It looks close to an 1860 barrel......

But that is drop dead gorgeous!

That is indeed beautiful

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

Now, embarrassing as this may seem, when I clicked the link all I got was loads of videos of me!

You are weakening,I can tell.

I bet you get one before the year is out.

Hypothetically speaking, where would one look to buy one.

Henry Krank used to have them. It might be worth giving them a call.
