If it's really "in the white" it's just polished carbon steel and will need very regular oiling to prevent rust. Not sure if "white finish" is the same.

It is nothing more than a highly polished carbon steel pistol. It is not nickel, chrome, or stainless. Some of you folks look for bling. I would much rather go with the blued version. After a few range sessions with the "white" version, you will wish you had the blued version, otherwise just relegate the "white" version as a safe/BBQ queen.
I get a chuckle out of the fact that it is a 4-screw and the recoil shields are cut for a shoulder stock, although no shoulder stock can be fitted to birdshead grips! A modern fantasy gun.
Read the description on the Taylor's website.

It is a four screw!!! That makes no sense. Sweet though.
Bling?? Maybe you think guns are just tools and looks don't matter, but most of us aren't like that.
This is the one I want:

Many old revolvers were Nickel plated for reasons more than bling or looks. The old timers said they helped the gun clean easier and provided some protection from the corrosion of black powder when it may be a while before it could be cleaned after firing.
That's a beauty. Too bad it's a 36. The price, $395 stunned me. I thought it would be over a thousand.

Too bad it's a .36? You have no clue.
If it was a .44 it would have a rebated cylinder and a cut water table. Nothing historical about that.
Yeah, it's a beauty because it is an engraved historical model.
Show us your non-historical Pietta .44 Navy pistols. I will bet they are all cheap brassers.
Pictures please!

You have excellent taste in black powder revolvers my friend! Would make for a great BBQ gun too!

A standard length Pietta 1851 Navy 36 will probably be my next C&B purchase, That Schaeffer is on the want list. I spent my gun money for the month buying 5000 Remington #10 cap from Midsouth:

However, I was bidding on Pedersoli Kentucky Flintlock pistol on Gunbroker. This was a decent deal as these are going in the $400 range new: https://www.gunbroker.com/item/751345739

Dang it....that's so purty I just went and ordered one.
Nice! Post up some pictures when it arrives.
Might want to order a Slixhand if you don't have one already.

That's a good deal. Under 5 cents a cap.

Nice Pedersoli Kentucky flintlock! I'm not too familiar with single shot pistols but isn't the front sight on backwards?

I let that one go. Started bidding early on it then changed my mind and got out bid. It's good to see that they can be had affordably though.
Front sight does look odd.
Came to $278.33 w/ shipping & hazmat ($5.57 a tin of 100). Figured I'd jump on them now while they are still in stock. My addition to rush on guns.
I have been meaning to buy 5k for a couple 4 or 5 months now. Should keep me shooting for a couple of years.
By the way, didn't mean to hijack your thread. I too like 44 cal C&B revolvers. Have 5 of them...

EMF phoned just before 5:00PM local time. The snubby 1851 I ordered is currently out of stock; the lady at EMF said it would be a few weeks before more arrived. Ahhhhh....the loooooooonnnnng wait begins!
I just shoot a few hundred BP rounds a year and i buy remmy 10s at sportsman's warehouse. They're 5.99 for a hundred and with tax it's 6.4 cents each . Not bad. They also sell speer 454 lead balls at 11 cents each except they never have any!!! The shelf slot for that size is always empty.
