I just purchased a used New Army 1858 and was told that it is the all stainless steel model. However, I now see that Pietta also makes a nickel plated 1858 8" 44 cal model which looks the same but has a brass frame.
I am concerned that the one I purchased may in fact be the nickel plated model instead of the SS model. I understand the brass frame model is lower cost. Anyone know how I ca tell if my revolver frame is SS or nickel plated? Is there any simple test I can run on the frame to see if it is SS or nickel plating?
I did not get the box with the gun.
