I recently acquired a repro 1861 Navy.  It was registered as an Uberti, but I wondered why it didn't take the same nipples as my 1851 which was clearly marked as an Uberti.  I then read the thread on nipple sizes.

This 1861 does not seem to have any makers ID on it.  The only marks are the proof stamps, serial number ("N" followed by 4 digits ), Year stamp XXIV (1968), and on top of the barrel; "NEW NAVY MOD. 1861 CAL. 36".  Looking closely at the model year, it seems an 1851 stamp was used and the "6" is stamped over the "5"?

The year of manufacture is 1968, which likely explains the nipple thread issue.  I have a link to Adler's article on Italian markings so I know what to look for, but no makers mark?  I live in Canada, but always thought that a makers mark was required here as well.

Does anyone have any more info on this revolver?

PUK;   I realized that I couldn't get on the plane with it, nor smuggle it home.  You MIGHT find your revolver under the reloading bench, but you will need a mine-detector!

My Dear Sir Charles -
It is entirely possible that you have a "Friday" revolver - one made in a rush prior to the weekend and a stamp did not manage to get stamped .... on a whim I googled "NEW NAVY MOD. 1861"  and the only hits I found were replicas made by Uberti ...
whilst this is not definitive evidence, it certainly weighs in favor of your surmise.
