Pietta Pistol Identification

[sta500rdr]

I picked up a pile of various guns from my aunt and uncles shop today. I have identified most of them but there are two that I have yet to figure out. One is a Pietta Colt Replica of some sort I am guessing. It has a navy scent on the cylinder, so I am guessing some sort of navy revolver. I have one that is an 1851 Navy replica, but it has an octagonal barrel. This one has a round barrel but looks relatively the same. Could it also be an 1851 Navy Replica? Sorry the pictures arent all that great.


The second one is unidentified completely. I am guessing it is also a Pietta of some sort, I cannot get the ramrod down to see the ID markings. It is much smaller than the other pistols. Any help would be great. Thanks!

First one 1860 Army .44 (yes, it has a Navy scene), second one 1862 Police .36. Probably Uberti

Sweet. Thanks that helps a ton. Is there any information on these on how to tear them down, clean them up? They look like they have been in a box for the last 5 years. Or are they just like a colt as far as mechanics?

There's plenty of stuff on YouTube on these. You can also drop down to the Black Powder forum here on THR; plenty of people there with lots of info on these revolvers.

Far as I know they're identical to Colts in disassembly/parts (not necessarily interchangeable parts, but same design).

Basic dissembly routine is:

Use a non marking hammer handle (ie wood) and whack the wedge to get it started. Remove wedge and use rammer to pop barrel from frame. After that, it involves screwdrivers and a bit more finesse.

That Pocket Police is a nice revolver. There should be a couple of letters (maybe in a box) that identify what year it was proofed. The letters are found on the frame.

The 44 is a copy of a revolver that never existed.
