Very interesting. Like a removable top strap/ site.I almost passed this post by since it was in a thread about 1861 revolvers, but the sight rib caught my eye.
I came across one online about a year ago that was based upon an 1860 Army .44, marketed by Navy Arms in 1970, and manufactured on special order by Uberti, the first I had ever seen. It seems to have been well made and well thought through.

Yours is definitely .36 caliber (so 1861 Navy), but I would not doubt it was part of the same Navy Arms marketing plan. Are there any Uberti markings on the underside of the barrel hidden by the load lever? Does it have a date code (Roman numerals)?
I really got a kick out of the 60's-70's era trigger shoe! My Dad insisted on installing them on every gun he/I owned at the time.
Thanks for posting!

Jim
