The Story of the Gun and the Battle

The Colt Single-Action Army (SAA) "Peacemaker" revolver was the primary sidearm for U.S. Army soldiers in the latter half of the 19th century. It was with them in June 1876, when the 7th Cavalry, under the command of Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer, clashed with allied tribes of the Lakota, Northern Cheyenne, and Arapaho.

The Battle of the Little Bighorn

This battle, also known as Custer's Last Stand, became one of the most famous engagements of the Indian Wars and a crushing defeat for the U.S. Army. The relief on this revolver's grip is a chilling reminder of the bravery and tragedy of both sides of the conflict. It was guns like the Colt 45 that played a key role in the hands of the soldiers in this fateful battle.

Caring for Your Replica

To maintain the detailed appearance of your collectible revolver, keep it dry. Remove dust with a soft, dry cloth or a fine brush to avoid damaging the intricate reliefs. You can occasionally treat the metal parts with a thin layer of preservation oil.

Please note: This is a purely decorative item. The mechanism is non-functional, and the replica cannot be made to fire.
