got a new Pietta 1860 Army. Looks good except for what look like grinding scratches on one side, and the top, of the barrel. tops of the lettering on the barrel have been ground off to some extent. can see that the scratches were there before blueing. just wondering if this is normal for Piettas, or if an exchange would be recommended? thanks for any input.
PS - think the 1860 Army may now be my favorite BP revolver (have had a pair of 1851 Navies since the late 1970's), with the ratcheting loading lever, lightness for being a .44, and of course those smooth lines!
