The early Ubertis did indeed have the post front, also had the original style of cylinder pin latch which used a spring on the end of the cylinder pin as opposed the the cross pin like the later Colts used. Now they all use the cross pin. I believe all of the earliest 1875s went to Replica Arms of Ohio back in the early 70s. I believe there may have been less than 400 made that way as I haven't seen or heard of one out of the 3XX range. I have three, two in the 2XX range and also serial # 10.
