WHAT'S INCLUDED
- F.lli Pietta 1858 New Model Army reproduction percussion revolver
Built in the 1858 New Model Army series, this revolver follows the Remington-style solid-frame design with a top strap for a rigid, traditional profile. The action is single-action percussion, consistent with the cap-and-ball configuration described.
The 8-inch octagonal barrel is marked "BLACK POWDER ONLY .44 CAL.", clearly identifying its intended use. It is paired with fixed sights: a front post/blade and a rear notch/groove in the top strap.
Externally, this example combines a blued/black finish with a brass/gold-colored trigger guard and smooth wood grip panels. The six-chamber cylinder provides a 6-round capacity in .44 caliber black powder.
