I found this to be a very good (but a bit long - 47 minutes) video.
Mr. A. Pietta has a lot of information here:

Interesting video - any idea of the date it was made?

The video is dated January 16 2020.
Pietta said that the company started in 1963. He first said 50 years ago, and then said words to the affect that it was almost 60 years ago. So I would surmise that it is a fairly recent video.

I've not owned anything made by Pietta for many, many years and mostly because there seemed to be quality issues back "in the day". But this video and the quality of the three revolvers I just received certainly seems to contradict those assumptions. I'm impressed. Now, if they'd just start sending some Smith Carbines to the U.S.
Very good. Thanks!

If Pietta would just please stop putting those huge, deep stamps on the sides of the barrels , that would be great.......at least give us a chance to DeFarb them.
Pietta has made some neat stuff over the years, wonder why they gave up on the Starr revolvers.
They do however make the only LeMat repro.

Pietta bought out EMF awhile back, so it has a vested interest in seeing EMF (as their primary distributor) do well. EMF lists 2 models (Artillery and Cavalry) but are currently out of stock. Get on their waiting list.
