Pietta 1851 Colt Navy Yank Steel Pepperbox .36 Black Powder Revolver - Black
Faithful reproduction of a six-shot, barrelless percussion cap revolver chambered in .36 caliber, first manufactured by the American company Colt. Known as the Pepperbox due to its similarity to a pepper shaker, this model was engineered as a compact, easily concealed firearm. Elimination of the traditional barrel allowed for reduced length, with the role of the barrel fulfilled by elongated cartridge chambers within an unusually extended cylinder.
forged steel frame, walnut scales and brass trigger guard
Constructed with a durable steel frame coated in a black protective oxide layer, the design ensures longevity. The handle scales are crafted from walnut wood, complementing the robust look. Both the fittings and the trigger guard are made of brass. The wooden parts are treated with oil to preserve their natural appearance.
trigger operating in Single Action system
The trigger system functions in Single Action mode, requiring the hammer to be manually cocked before each discharge. The hammer can be set in two positions: half-cock for fitting percussion caps onto the nipples, and full-cock in preparation for firing.

F.lli Pietta is an Italian manufacturer from Brescia, founded in 1963 by Giuseppe Pietta, which has combined tradition with precision craftsmanship from the very beginning. In 1966, the first shotguns were produced, and by 1974, the company had gained international recognition by fulfilling a contract for 10 000 replicas of revolvers such as the 1851 Navy, Colt Army, Remington, Paterson, and Le Mat. This success cemented Pietta's position as a specialist in faithful reconstructions of 19th-century weapons. The brand was one of the first to introduce the "100% made in Italy" label, emphasizing the quality of its products. Today, run by the founder's sons, Alessandro and Alberto, it is one of the most respected manufacturers of historical replicas, chosen by collectors, reenactors, and shooting enthusiasts around the world.
