The Pietta 1851 US Marshall (Pietta part no. PF51US44512) reproduces the 1851 Navy pattern that both U.S. and British forces adopted, and it takes its name from the Texas Navy victory scene engraved on the cylinder. This .44 caliber black powder revolver pairs a 5.5-inch barrel with a laser-engraved, polished steel frame and a walnut grip. Like Pietta’s other 1851 Navy revolvers it is a single-action, cap-and-ball design, so it is loaded from the front of the cylinder instead of with modern cartridges. The 5.5-inch barrel is shorter than the 7-3/8-inch barrel on Pietta’s standard 1851 Navy Yank, which makes it quicker to handle. For a black powder shooter, collector or reenactor who wants a steel-frame 1851 with engraved detail, this Pietta revolver is a handsome choice.
