M1873 Peacemaker Non-Firing Gun - Gray 7" - Kolser

About the M1873 Peacemaker Non-Firing Gun - Gray 7" - Kolser

Part of the Historic Replica Guns catalog, the M1873 Peacemaker Non-Firing Gun - Gray 7" - Kolser is a reproduction built for display, costume and film work rather than for firing. It is cast, fitted and finished by hand, the moving parts operate like the original, and the barrel is solid, so no round can be chambered at any point.

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 Gray 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.
