Key Features
Authentic Replication
This Cimarron Buntline is a direct copy, patterned from one of the original movie prop firearms with authorization from Peter Sherayko, the film’s firearm supplier. It features a distinctive 10-inch barrel, aligning precisely with the long-barreled Peacemaker depicted in the cinematic portrayal. The one-piece walnut stock is inlaid with a solid sterling silver “Wyatt Earp, Peacekeeper” presentation plaque, further enhancing its authenticity and collector appeal.
Construction and Finish
The revolver is chambered for the .45 Colt cartridge, maintaining the period-appropriate caliber for the 1873 design. Its finish is executed in Standard Blue, complemented by a color case hardened, Old Model (pre-1896) frame and hammer. This combination of finishes not only provides a durable surface but also accurately represents the manufacturing techniques and appearance of firearms from that era. The blued steel barrel and cylinder integrate seamlessly with the case-hardened frame, offering a visually cohesive and historically correct presentation.
Operational Integrity
Operating as a true 1873 single-action revolver, the Cimarron CA558 prioritizes operational reliability and a tactile experience consistent with historical designs. The mechanism is straightforward, robust, and proven through decades of use, ensuring consistent performance for target shooting or display.
