This reproduction Colt Model 1861 Navy revolver features a .36 caliber, 5-1/2" barrel with blued finish, half-fluted cylinder, color case hardened frame, hammer and loading lever, silver plated brass triggerguard and back strap and stained walnut grips. The grip frame has a lanyard ring installed on the base. This revolver has a few small marks on the cylinder from the latch. Pietta offered this configuration as the New York Police revolver.

Manufactured by Pietta, the barrel is stamped F. LLIPIETTA - MADE IN ITALY on the right side and BLACK POWDER ONLY .36 CAL on the left side. A few additional proof marks, required by Italian law, are stamped on the barrel. This is the four crew frame variation of the 1861 Navy, The grips has the notch to secure a stock, but the lanyard would prevent use. The 5-1/2" barrel is fitted with a brass blade front sight. A notch in the hammer acts as a rear sight to provide maximum sight radius.

We recommend 15 grains of GOEX FFFg powder, and a .375" round ball, for best accuracy and best compression. Cover each ball with a small amount of our #LUBE-SPG bullet lubricant grease. Despite your best efforts, this revolver will need to be cleaned after 12 or 18 shots. Remove the wedge, barrel, and cylinder. Wipe the face of the cylinder, and wipe the cylinder pin. If you continue to load and fire a badly fouled revolver, the effort needed to cock and fire the gun will become greater, causing the small internal hand, spring, and cylinder latch to become worn and slightly damaged. Continued abuse will cause the cylinder and latch to become out-of-time. Simple cleaning and maintenance will prevent problems.

Order it for a ten day visual inspection. You will be delighted. Else if it does not fit you, return it in unfired condition for same-day refund. Postage is your only risk, when you order any one-of-a-kind gun from Track, whether new, used, or antique.
