The Colt M1873 Single Action Army/ Peacemaker was a single action revolver designed for the U.S. Government by Colt. The revolvers were adopted as the U.S. Army standard military service revolver until 1892 and were favoured by Early Law Enforcement Officers. The Colt Buntline Special was a long-barrelled variant of the Colt Single Action Army revolver, which Stuart N. Lake described in his best-selling but largely fictionalized 1931 biography, Wyatt Earp: Frontier Marshal. According to Lake, the dime novelist Ned Buntline commissioned the production of five Buntline Specials. Lake described them as extra-long Colt Single Action Army revolvers. The Colt design lives on today in the form of quality live firing pistols true to the original Colt pistols, made in a variety of calibres from Italian manufacturers such as Pedersoli, Uberti, Pietta and Euroarms. This large frame Buntline .22 calibre revolver is side gate loading and has a captive ejector rod. The pistol retains all of its original blue & colour case hardened factory finish. It has undamaged wood grip both sides factory mounted with colourful enamelled metal devices depicting a set of playing card aces, celebrating saloon gambling during the wild west era. It has a 7 ½” barrel with blade foresight and the rear sight is a groove on top of the cylinder frame. The pistol measures 13 ½” overall. The pistol has patent detail on the frame (illustrated). The pistols serial number is AC493 which is stamped on the underside of the frame above ‘Cat. 8463. Deactivated to a UK specification in 2004, the original deactivation certificate was lost at some point in its life & a replacement certificate issued in 2026 without the need for any further deactivation work being required. The pistol’s blued cylinders are cut and the barrel open & over bored, its sprung captive ejector rod moves and the side gate opens. The pistol cocks and dry fires correctly in single action only. The price for this attractive piece includes UK delivery and deactivation certificate. Sn 23473:5
