Pietta 51' Navy
« on: December 26, 2018, 12:18:49 PM »
So I did a little horse trading and acquired this brand new Pietta Navy. It's just a stone stock pistol right now, but soon I'll open her up and slick up the guts. It arrived on Xmas Eve, so Merry Christmas to me!





I made the knife and sheath. I included them just do give the picture some flavor.

Hi Dave, nice looking revolver. Nothing says Christmas like a new BP revolver. I look forward to your shooting report.

Regards,
Richard

Thanks Guys.

Jim, the date code is CN. So 2015 if I'm not mistaken.
