A pair of CS Schneider & Glassick .36 cal. percussion revolvers aka "brass framed revolvers of Colt 1851 Navy pattern".
That these neo-classikers are replications of historical revolvers was discovered by famous Dr. Jim Davis of RPRCA.
Jim Davis passed away too early in 2020.
One is a Pietta from 2003 (Italian year code BT) with typical bell shaped grip, the other a Uberti from 1972 (Italian year code XX8).
Originals are very rare, only four (4) specimens are confirmed.

I’ve seen where these are called “Inadvertent Confederate revolvers”. The Italians were looking for cost cutting and didn’t engrave the cylinder. Made a brass frame 1851 Colt to further cut costs. And walla, without intentionally making a Schneider and Glassic , we have one.
 
We were shooting at the brother's last weekend and my son and I took some proper revolvers. Here's a few photos of my brother and his boys shooting our 44 navies. The 2 big balls of fire were my new to me 5inch gun.

Nope, nipples are factory, I believe. Those are Navy Arms caps, they're pretty hot. My nephew with the black hat was shooting a full cylinderful, the others were 30grs goex 3f. I filmed them in slow motion, then frame by framed it till I got the photo I wanted and screeshot it. Try it with yours, you may get some kool photos of your own.
 
I need to take video of me emptying my 1860 of its hunting loads. I'm curious what effect the Slixshot nipples have with the little holes in them, could be quite a show!
 
When I was a teenager I had two 1851 navy .36 and a .44 1858 Remington complete with home sewn fast draw holster. Max loads of real Bp was the only way I rolled. Several times I caught my dad's safety zone signs on fire by quick drawing on them from too close.
 
Transformation project 1862 Tucker & Sherrard Dragoon low Hammer Spur Model.
Project pistols were ASM Colt 2nd Mod. Dragoons.
Their frames, arbors and cylinders were cut ca. .25" to proper length, cylinder engraving removed, historical rear sights, hammer spur altered.
On one the right side recoil shield was opened wide to serve also more modern, not mentionable purposes.

The bottom two are from 1980ish , the Trapper and new army are this year. Target has a six foot snow drift in front of it and I can't get the shop door open yet due to another drift. If somehow another pistol is under the tree, I guess I will be shoveling snow.

put your targets in front of the snow drift. in the spring you will get most of your patched roundballs back in good enough shape to reshoot them if your just punching paper with a cardboard backer. the revolver rounds will have to be smelted again.. My trapper is the most accurate pistol i have ever owned...
 
L.E. Tucker Navy - another transformation project to replicate this rare Texan Navy of the Civil War period.
Only 3 originals are documented, of which the prototype #1 had the barrel lug mounted rear sight.
Donor pistols were Italian Colt 1851 Navies from three different makers.

I hand sewed that rig with leather scraps we had on the farm. wonder exactly what the brassers i had were? this one is half octagon and half round. i should try to find a shot of the other one as I thought it was a full length octagon? both .36 and sold as navys obviously the 1858 is a .44 I used to shoot icicles off a cliff about 100 yards up the hill with the .36

Navy Arms, Uberti, and High Standard made .36 Griswold & Gunnisons with the half round/half octagon barrels. That one looks like it has no engraving on the cylinder. That one has stampings on the top of the round portion of the barrel like a Navy Arms. The High Standard had the stampings on the top flat area of the barrel.
