Reproduction of 4.75" revolver in metal and wood, with simulated loading and firing mechanism and drum

revolver.The Peacemaker revolver, also known as the Single Action Army (SAA), was designed by Samuel Colt in 1873 and was produced in different gun lengths: the short 4.75-inch version, the longer 5.5- and 7.5-inch versions, or the impressive 12-inch 'BuntlineSpecial',

initially used by the US Army, but within a few years, most American citizens received one of these revolvers, and the fact that it used ammunition of the same calibre as the Winchester M1873 rifle contributed to its popularity as a short weapon in the American West in the late 19th century.

Curiously, this revolver received numerous nicknames. In addition to the aforementioned Peacemaker, it was also known as the Frontier or Widowmaker, in reference to the ease with which this revolver left widows among the wives of the time.

The film industry mitigated the 'Peacemaker' in the westerns of the 1940s and 1950s, and it was associated with big screen stars like John Wayne or Gary Cooper. Roosevelt also had one engraved with his initials and George S. Patton used two.

Feel the role of a great western with the DENIX reproduction of this revolver!
