I just traded my Uberti Cattleman for one(straight across trade).
Made in the U.S.A., not Brazil. Latest patent date is Dec. 29, 1914.
It is in decent shape, small amounts of pitting in some outside areas, but barrel and chambers are in good shape and the action locks up nice and tight.
Serial is 194088. Has the Brazil and 1937 emblem on the right side.
I got this gun semi-spontneously. I paid 300 for the Uberti, and did not like it at all. I was offered this trade from a private party, and liked the look and feel of the gun much more, and had seen that it had some collectors value.
Can anyone give me a rough estimate on the value of this firearm?
Also, is it safe to shoot with modern loads? I was not going to run anything but WWB through it.
My original idea was to use it mostly as woods carry gun. Now Im not so sure.
