CIMARRON LIGHTNING, The first troops to receive Colts new 1873 Army revolver in the latter portion of that same year included Custers famed 7th Cavalry. It was these early issue pistols inspected by Orville W. Ainsworth and shipped to Fort Lincoln that Lt. Col. George Armstrong Custers cavalry desperately fought with as they made their last stand on June 25th 1876 at the disastrous Battle of the Little Big Horn known to the Indians as the Fight at the Greasy Grass. Cimarrons 7th Cavalry model in .45 Colt is another great historical reproduction inspired by an original in our antique collection. Its a detailperfect rendition of the single action of Custers illfated 7th Cavalrys legendary revolver. Each authentic 7 12inch barreled firearm is properly stamped with Ainsworths OWA cartouche on the walnut stock government proof marks and the inspectors initials are found in all of the appropriate locations and the last 4 numbers of the serial numbering is on the cylinder as well as on the color case hardened frame trigger guard and blued butt strap. The proper 2line patent dates and the U.S. stamping is also found on the left side of the frame as with genuine Custer era" cavalry revolvers. This model is limited to just 2000 units of each of Custers five companies CEFI and L that perished under his command at the Little Big Horn."
