Nice revolver. It appears to be in good shape and it has good case coloring on the frame. I've always been a big fan of single-action sixguns and have more than a few, but no cap and ball guns as of yet. However, I do own a Uberti sixgun in .38 Special. It's a Colt Single Action Army relica on a 3/4 scale frame (Cimarron's version of the Uberti Stallion). Not as tough as my Rugers, but it's nicely balanced, the fit and finish on mine is excellent, and it just feels good in the hand. Definitely one of my favorites.

From the photos, it looks like some improvements were made to yours by the prior owner. The front sight appears to have been replaced with a larger, patridge type. Much better than the rounded, thin blade that comes from the factory in my opinion, the factory ones are just too thin for me. I'm wondering if the rounded notch on the hammer that serves as the rear sight could be squared up to give you a better sight picture. I seem to remember reading about someone doing that somewhere. However, I can't recall if the hammers and frames Uberti uses are actually case-hardened or just colored that way using chemicals, like Ruger did on their Vaquero revolvers. (Over time and use, the coloring on those frames rubs off.) So, if your hammer is case hardened, squaring the notch might be more difficult than it sounds. One of the other members may be able to answer that for you.

Enjoy your new sixgun! They are a lot of fun to own and shoot, but you have to be careful. They can be quite addictive!
