I have a rather pristine Belgium Colt '60Army.
I bought in on Bootsie's advice and haven't regretted it at all. Holding my Uberti in one hand and the Belgium in the other,,,the Belgium has an obvious 'more Colt feel'. 'More',as in the original Colts iv had the chance to examine.
Bootsie,,,from what I gather you are saying,,that the Beligum is indeed a 'real' Colt,,,as real in exact specs' to the original '60Armys ? More Colt than say a second gen' Colt ?
The frame markings on mine are,,,'left side',,a 'Colt pony' forward on the frame, and rearward,,,the 'fallen tree' (
) mark near one of the screw heads ? No right frame side markings at all. All of the serial numbers are 'under-neath' the revolver, and 'made in Beligum' on the bottom of the grip frame.
Btw,,,the Beligum shoots to POA slightly different than the Uberti...The Uberti placing the ball about 2" high at 20yards,,the Belgium placeing the ball about 1" low at 20 yards. That is not, to me, enough difference to be 'noteworthy' as both can be 'tweaked' to a rather dead center POA if I so wished.
The Beligum appears to have rather good 'black walnut' grips, and of course you guys are familiar with the Uberti walnut and the reddish tint.
I am super pleased with my Beligum.
Thanks Bootsie,,,you DA' MAN ! (as the youngsters would say now-days )
