In the early 1880s, he unveiled an original and spectacular new form of
entertainment that would bring to life the wonders of the American West
for millions of
people around the world. An outdoor extravaganza staged on a scale more
colossal than
anything that had gone before it, Buffalo Bill’s Wild West represented
the birth of the Western as
an entertainment phenomenon.Now America Remembers is proud to offer an exciting new Tribute,
honoring the legendary
Colonel “Buffalo Bill” Cody and his amazing Wild West extravaganzas: The
Buffalo Bill’s Wild West
Tribute Revolver. This exclusive Tribute is the first ever issue by
America Remembers to be featured on a
recreation of the legendary Remington 1858 New Model Army Revolver, a
particular favorite of Buffalo Bill
himself. Craftsmen commissioned specifically by America Remembers for
this historic issue have decorated the
Tribute in stunning 24-karat gold artwork that stands out boldly from
the blued steel frame and barrel.
Buffalo Bill’s Trusted Revolver – “It Never Failed Me”
The Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Tribute Revolver is a working recreation of
the classic Remington 1858 New
Model Army Revolver, produced for us by the master craftsmen of A. Uberti, who since 1959, have become world
renowned as the premier makers of historical firearm recreations. This
model Remington revolver is widely
believed to be one of the first handguns William Cody owned, even before
he’d earned the title of “Buffalo Bill.”
Over the years, Buffalo Bill was honored with many spectacular
presentation guns, but they could never take the
place of the timeworn Remington he had come to trust. He is believed to
have given a New Model Army Revolver to
his close friend and Western general manager Charles Trego, with a note
that read, “This old Remington revolver was
carried and used for many years in Indian Wars and buffalo killing, and
it never failed me.”
