The Frontier Marshal Tribute Colt Peacemaker From The American Historical Foundation
George Orwell once wrote “People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.” In the Old West, the rough men who upheld the peace were often US Marshals. To honor their memory and the distinguished weapon those stalwart lawmen carried, The American Historical Foundation presents a limited edition of 125 Colt Single Action “Peacemakers.” This is the real thing, a genuine Colt SAA made by Sam Colt’s company which has been hand engraved, plated with 24-karat Gold and highly polished nickel. Nitre (“Peacock”) Blue screw-heads, and genuine Colt Walnut grips provide the finishing touches on this elegant showpiece. For the advanced Colt collector, a “One of 25” museum edition is also available. This extra limited edition features ivory grips and two additional inlays of solid 24-karat gold as well as more extensive hand-engraving.

It is instinctively activated by a pressure switch built into the backstrap of the polymer Lasergrip. Simply grasping the firearm in a normal shooting grip activates the laser. All electrical components fit into the lasergrip, which is the same size and shape of the original M&P medium-sized backstrap. The texture of the unit is almost identical to the stock S&W grip.

The 1858 New Model Army and 1875 Model Remington From US Fire Arms Mfg. Co.
When Remington introduced their 1858 New Model Army revolver, they created a legendary sidearm. It was considerably sturdier than the Colt open-top design which had been employed since the 1830s. The solid frame provided added strength and durability and the cylinder could be changed out in rapid fashion without having to dismantle the weapon. That the pistol fired accurately and functioned reliably goes without saying. Before long, these pistols had amassed a legion of dedicated admirers. Then, when Remington and Sons stopped manufacturing handguns, it seemed as if an era had passed forever from the American scene. Now, however, Remington, America’s oldest gunmaker, founded in 1816, has licensed USFA for a line of the famous E. Remington & Sons product line — 100 percent made in the USA. The first guns issued will be the popular 1858 and 1875 models. The New 1858 Model percussion revolver will be available with an 8" barrel in .44 cal. The new 1875 Model revolver will be available with a 7-1/2" barrel and in .38-40 WCF, .44-40 WCF and .45 Colt. Both models will be offered with three distinct finishes — Armory Blue, Armory Blue with bone case color frame, and bright nickel. The entire menu of custom options available with USFA’s standard line such as: engraving, gold and silver plate, ivory, stag and other grips will also be available for these exemplary classics.
