A labor of love for the Pietta family. 

Starting with what they know best building a true-to-the-original 1873 Colt single-action that only Pietta can do and then creating a true work of art designed by master craftsman. Every inch of this revolver was developed the with old-world techniques from the traditional color casehardening using bone and charcoal (instead of chemicals) meticulously checkered and fitted grips with high-grade hardwoods nitride blued screws cylinder pin and ejector knob to the carefully blued frame. Each revolver personally checked by a member of the Pietta family. 

Truly a masterpiece that would revel most revolvers in any collection......
