Denix Peacemaker 1873 Revolver Brown-Silver 46cm

The Peacemaker revolver, also known as the Single Action Army (SAA), was designed by Samuel Colt in 1873. It was manufactured with various barrel lengths: a short version of 4.75 inches, longer variants of 5.5 and 7.5 inches, as well as the imposing 12 inch "Buntline Special", used by the legendary Wyatt Earp on the Dodge City Peace Commission.

This weapon was initially used by the American army. However, within a few years, most American citizens owned a copy. The fact that it used ammunition of the same caliber as the Winchester M1873 rifle contributed to its popularity as a sidearm in the Old West of North America in the late 19th century.

Oddly enough, this revolver has received many nicknames. Besides the Peacemaker, he is also known as the Frontier or Widowmaker, in reference to the ease with which he left widows to wives of the time.

The film industry mythologized the “peacemaker” in westerns of the 1940s and 1950s, associating him with big screen stars like John Wayne or Gary Cooper. Additionally, Roosevelt had one with his initials engraved, and George S. Patton used two.
