I've been doing some digging on the unmarked Colt Navy.
Think it may be an Uberti rather than a Pietta, due to the smaller backstrap, and the fact that Uberti also did the 1843 sea battle engraving as per the originals.
Won't know for sure until I get the box.
Here they are together:
The Pietta black powder has the square back trigger guard which appeared on early models of the original Colt Navy. The Uberti(?) blank has the later round trigger guard.
It's time to rearrange the wall and oust that MP5.
