Did the "Hartford" designation denote anything unique with respect to the guns EMF sold?

Supposed to be “select” pistols. Made by Uberti I believe.
Years ago, on the SASS Forum, I wrote:

My first cowboy pistol was an ASM EMF Hartford in .357, bought new in about '95 or '96. I haven't had a lick of trouble out of it, other than losing the ejector housing screw. Then, I took it to a gunhack who buggered the threads. I still shot it without the ejector, and got pretty good at ejecting shells with a nail on a leather thong. I have replacements now, but I keep it around as a back-up.
Today:
I still have mine - my first cowboy pistol. The action is pretty smooth, by now.
Mine was stamped with ASM and EMF.
The Hartford was the closest replica to an original Colt that was available back in '95 or so. You could reportedly interchange parts, and even screws, with an original Colt. Never tried it, though.
Still haven't had any problems with it.

Fellas, somebody's a'gonna be along here most any minute to tell yall to read the rules.
You're right. My reference was not about a BP revolver.
I saw the question, and just answered it, without regard to the rules.
My bad.
