Here for your viewing pleasure is an Uberti 1873 Cattleman in .44 Black Powder.
Color Case hardened frame with walnut grips and deep blued 4.75 inch barrel. Came with a spare cylinder.
From what I have been able to find out it was made to have the feel and weight of an actual Colt, but made for the European market where they are banned by law from owning a pistol that shoots cased ammo. This was included along with several pieces I won in an auction. Not really sure what to do with it, as I have no need of a Black Powder pistol.

So are you saying it is a cap and ball version?

I don't see nipples though

Nice. I had one. The market in the US sucks for them. They are made mainly for Europe and those markets. Not legal in SASS

The other thread...

The nipples are there on the back of the cylinder, they’re just obscured by shadow in the photo. OP, does your revolver have two cap and ball cylinders, or one cap and ball and one for cartridges?

Yeap, I'm looking now on a larger screen and I can see them sort of. As for what to do with it... shoot it, of course!

So many questions...
The extractor is just for looks?
The cylinder has to be removed to load?

Yup. It’s made to look and feel like a Colt but the drawback is you do have to remove the cylinder to load it. Guess that’s why there are two. Do a quick swap before you have to break out the loading stand.

You gonna sell it or shoot it?
