Uberti cylinders should fit the relevant Uberti guns.
Over the years I have had spare cylinders for Ubertis, Piettas, Pedersolis, Euroarms and Armi San Marcos and they have all fitted their own guns as well as having some interchangeability 'tween makes.

If it is the same make and same type then they should fit, I have spare cylinders for some of my revolvers and buy with confidence.
Do you know the age of the guns, manufacturers have changed their production over the years and there could well be discrepancies 'tween older and newer manufacture guns especially the Italian companies.
