It’s hard to forget a man like Doc Holliday.
In an era known for its colorful characters, hardly any have become much
brighter than Doc. But almost as important to the legend of Doc Holliday
are the few people whom he grew close with throughout his short life;
those he befriended, such as the legendary Wyatt Earp, and the one lady
who managed to snag his heart, Kate Haroney.
She was a doctor’s daughter who became
one of the “soiled doves” of the Old West, a hard drinking lady who took
orders from nobody. He was an infamous gambler, quick with a pistol and
never far from a bottle of whiskey. The two of them made quite a
memorable pair. As the story goes, Doc and Kate first met at a saloon in
Fort Griffin, where Holliday dealt cards. Once they hit it off, they
became inseparable. And even though Doc Holliday and Kate Haroney never
had a “happily ever after,” they lived hard and loved life. Together
they left their mark on one of the most turbulent and exciting times in
American history.
Today, America Remembers is proud to
honor this legendary Western couple with the Doc Holliday & Kate Haroney
Tribute Revolver. The Tribute is a recreation of the classic Western
firearm – the legendary Single Action Revolver – and is handsomely
decorated with scenes and portraits celebrating this memorable pair.
Revolvers for this Tribute are produced for us by the master craftsmen
of A. Uberti, who are regarded as the world’s premier maker of historic
firearms recreations. Craftsmen commissioned specifically for this
project by America Remembers decorate each working revolver with artwork
featured in stunning 24-karat gold and nickel. The result is a
museum-quality masterpiece that truly captures the spirit of two
American originals.
An American Masterpiece of the
Old West
Few firearms carry more of the romance and adventure of the Old West
than the Single Action Revolver. “The Peacemaker” has truly become an
iconic firearm and deserving of the title “The Gun That Won The West.”
This six-shot equalizer was the pistol of choice for lawmen and outlaws;
gamblers and thieves; cowpunchers and the U.S. Cavalry. No one can say
for sure whether the Single Action Revolver tamed the Wild West... or
made it even wilder. What’s indisputable is that this revolver has been
tied to many legends. Famed lawmen, such as Bat Masterson, Wyatt Earp
and Pat Garrett, and celebrated Western icons, such as Buffalo Bill Cody
and Wild Bill Hickok, praised Samuel Colt’s masterpiece. It has been
reported that Doc Holliday carried one in his travels through the
boomtowns of the rugged frontier.

in Western-style lettering, surrounded by elegant scrollwork and book
ended with a rose bloom and a die. On the left side of the frame is a

Both sides of the handsome faux ivory

Western-style lettering, surrounded by elegant scrollwork and book ended

right side of the frame, Doc gambles while Kate looks on. Few seats in
the frontier were as intimidating as the one next to Doc Holliday in a
card game.
