Cimarron US Cavalry 45 Colt 7.5" Revolver

In the realm of historical firearms, few pieces evoke as much reverence and intrigue as the revolver carried by General Custer's 7th Cavalry. Cimarron has masterfully recreated this iconic sidearm in their 7th Cavalry Model chambered in .45 Colt, offering enthusiasts a tangible link to a storied past.

This revolver is not merely a replica but an authentic homage to its legendary predecessor. Its formidable 7.5-inch barrel ensures both balance and accuracy, while maintaining the aesthetics of the original cavalry issue. The frame is old model case hardened, adorned with distinctive markings from that era—a testament to meticulous craftsmanship.

Attention to detail is paramount; thus, each firearm bears Ainsworth's OWA cartouche on its one-piece walnut grip—an emblematic mark once scrutinized by military inspectors. Government proof marks and inspector initials are precisely positioned throughout, allowing for an experience akin to handling history itself.

Further authenticity comes through with serial numbers engraved on critical components: cylinder, color case-hardened frame, trigger guard, and blued butt strap—all echoing those found on genuine "Custer era" arms. Additionally, proper two-line patent dates alongside U.S. stamping grace the left side of the frame.

Finished in standard blue steel that speaks volumes about durability and heritage alike—this piece stands ready not just as a collector’s item but also as a functional tribute capable of performance under modern scrutiny.
