Build Thread Cabelas. 45 colt

[jerman1964]

I have a Saa .45 colt marked cabelas on the bbl with a brass grip frame and an emblem in the grip. I will add pictures. Does anyone know much about these? This one has had an action job and the trigger polished.

Do you know who they were made by?

You mean built, hence the "build" in the title?

 

[jerman1964]

What?

 

[Certaindeaf]

Yep

Proof marks and roll mark font looks like from Italy.

Thanks. I thought probably umberto? Not sure how to find out. Ornifnit matters really, just curiosity.

You mean Uberti? I think Umberto is the neighbors gardener.

Sorry man, that just hit me funny. Understandable mistake. Peace.

If Uberti or Pietta had done a Cabelas branded production run, they'd probably be able to remember. Should shoot them an email to see if this is one of theirs.

Yes I meant uberti. Ducking autocorrect. . Thanks hueco, I will try that

Both Uberti and Pietta have done runs for Cabelas. Just a WAG it looks more like the Pietta than an Uberti based on the bead-blast looking finish. Never seen that on an Uberti. Should be maker-marked somewhere on the pistol.

I've had 2 .357s with that finish and brass grip frames from Cabelas. Both were made by Pietta. They have a funky locking center pin too. Good shooters though.
