USFA production numbers

[J.S. Sooner, SASS #73526]

Wanted to see if there is a table showing production numbers that may show rare calibers produced.  I have a 44 special for sale in a shorted 3 1/2"  Sheriff's configure, wanted to compare production numbers. 

 

Thank you 

[Timothy]

I too would like to see a table like that.

I wish whoever has the records would either use them to let us get "Factory Letters" or turn them over to Cody.

I would like such a list, too. I have a 5 1/2 inch and an early 7. 1/2 inch with the “patent” still in the name (and “Uberti” on the bottom of the barrel). I’d love to know how many were made and what configuration.

Over on the cascity.com website, there is a USFA forum. GaryC hangs out there and was a major player at USFA. He may have more info.

I have one of those.   It just looked like a generic Uberti to me, but had a great price, so I bought it.  When I got it home and looked more closely at it, I realized it was a USPFA.  5.5" .45 Colt, Nickel.  The finish is flaking off.  

I also recently found a 4.75" .45 China Camp Model.   These were done "in the white."  I am very seriously considering taking both of them to Turnbull  The USPFA I will have renickeled.  The CC one...  I dunno.   Since it's in the white, it's a good candidate for being engraved.   I will ponder for about a year as I save up for a descision.

I inherited a pair of USFA .44spcl with 7.5" barrels also included was a pair of 44-40 cylinders. They have a beautiful finish. I am wondering what the approximate value of those might be. They sequentially numbered. 

They are not for sale 

 

TIA

Could not find any leads to production numbers to my USFA Sheriffs 44 special.  I listed on  Gunbroker now, doing well with 3 days to remain.  My local gun shop handling my transfer told me he has another revolver in 45 colt that should be on sale soon. Just in case any is looking for these Sheriff's USFA's

Tell them to add a side picture of the cocked hammer so folks can see if it’s cone shaped or more needle shaped

Thanks for the tip.  What is the advantage or disadvantage with either variant?

The cone shape in more indicative of US production. Though it doesn’t completely rule out Italian Uberti parts

Maybe I’m looking at the wrong auction pic #18 kinda shows it. I attached a pic of what bidders want to see. A side pic of the cocked hammer shows its cone shaped.
