The Great Western II series delivers a full-size single-action-only revolver with a 6-shot fluted cylinder and the classic 4.75 inch barrel length. The fixed-sight setup uses a front blade and a topstrap rear notch for a traditional sight picture.
The revolver wears a bright mirror-polished metal finish across the barrel, frame, and cylinder, paired with a smooth one-piece white/ivory-colored grip. A checkered hammer spur aids positive cocking, and the crescent-style ejector head maintains period-correct handling.
Barrel markings include the Great Western II rollmark and F.LLI PIETTA MADE IN ITALY legend, with Italian CIP proof marks and an importer line on the barrel. A patent-date legend is present on the frame, and the serial number is located on the front strap.
This example is a clean, well-marked reproduction built in Italy, offering the classic 1873 Single Action profile in .357 Magnum with a bright, showy finish and traditional controls.
