This replica 1851 Richards-Mason conversion revolver was manufactured in Italy by Aldo Uberti & Company. In 1871 Colt employee Charles Richards was awarded a patent for converting 1851 Colt Navy percussion revolvers to a breech loading cartridge revolver. In 1872 William Mason, another Colt employee, was awarded a patent for an improvement to the Richards model and the 1851 Richards-Mason Conversion model revolver was born. This revolver appears to be unfired and comes with the factory carton. This revolver is fitted with a blued steel backstrap and triggerguard. Ready for same day shipment on receipt of your funds, and your Federal Firearms Licensed dealer's signed FFL copy. We must deliver to a Minnesota resident, or to a licensed dealer in any other state.

The 5-1/2" barrel is factory blued with a bright clean bore that is ready to shoot. The bottom of the barrel is marked .38 Colt & / S. W. Spec. just behind the ejector lever. Like the later manufactured Richards-Mason conversions, the barrel frame has never been drilled for a percussion loading lever. The top of the barrel is marked Taylor's & Co. Winchester VA - A. Uberti Italy.

This revolver features the Navy size grips with blued steel backstrap and triggerguard. The grips are finished to a medium brown, and do not show any handling marks. The cylinder and barrel are blued to an attractive dark finish. The cylinder is roll engraved with a naval scene. The frame is color case hardened and is marked -PAT. JULY 25, 1871- and -PAT. JULY 2, 1872- below the cylinder, just as an antique revolver would. The date code stamped on the bottom of the frame indicates this revolver was manufactured in 2022.
