I've wanted a stainless steel Colt blackpowder revolver for a while. I don't like these "commemorative" guns in general. It seems they pop up at auctions and have less collector value than a normal gun and are lower priced when used. It should be noted that Pietta also makes a Stainless .44 1851 Navy that also has gawdy engravings all over it ($400), although I'd rather have the .44's floral swirly-doo's than a bunch of commemorative text written across the whole thing. But the Commemorative revolver here seems to have a matching backstrap and grip (not sure if stainless or nickle-plated), whereas the .44 has a brass grip.
MidWayUSA's selling price is $500 buck here.

| Misspellings? On my commemerative engraving? It's more likely than you think! |

| It's pretty but I only want engravings on the Cylinder, as Samuel Colt intended. |
Features:
Caliber: .36
Barrel Length: 7.5"

Old Silver Frame and Barrel
Engraved Barrel, Cylinder and Frame
Period and Historically Correct
Note: I just noticed that it said "Old Silver frame and barrel", which is what they called their nickel-plated models. I don't even know if this product is even stainless steel or not, but here's hoping.
