About the M1873 Peacemaker Non-Firing Gun - Black 7" - Kolser
M1873 Peacemaker Non-Firing Gun - Black 7" - Kolser is a non-firing reproduction finished in Black, built to the same scale as the original and supplied ready to display. The barrel is a solid casting and the chambers are blind, so nothing can be loaded or fired, while the mechanism still moves the way the original does. That is what makes it useful for a display case, a costume or a close up photograph.
Revolvers are the most collected category in this catalog, and the differences between models matter more than the pictures show. Barrel length changes the balance in the hand: a 4.75 inch Peacemaker points quickly and photographs well on a bookshelf, while a 7.5 inch cavalry length looks correct in a display case but feels muzzle heavy. Finish is the second decision, because antique grey hides handling marks while polished nickel shows every fingerprint.
Keep it out of direct sun and away from radiators: the Black finish fades unevenly in sunlight and heat dries the wood. A light coat of oil on a cloth, wiped over the metal twice a year, is enough. Store it in a cabinet or a presentation box rather than a foam case, because foam holds moisture against the metal.
