M1873 Cavalry Revolver
Black 7.5" Barrel
About the M1873 Cavalry Revolver Black 7.5" Barrel
The M1873 Cavalry Revolver Black 7.5" Barrel copies the proportions of the original piece: the same length, the same grip angle and the same weight in the hand. The frame is cast in zinc aluminium, hand fitted and finished in Black, and the grips follow the original screw pattern so they can be replaced with a period set if you want a different look.
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.
Handle it the way you would the real thing: muzzle away from people, and in a case when you are in public. Wipe the metal with a dry cloth after handling, because fingerprints are acidic and will mark a Black surface within weeks. Do not polish the finish, which is a thin surface treatment and comes off long before the tarnish does.
