In 1883 the New York gun dealer Schuyles, Hartlet and Graham were commissioned to manufacture a masterpiece with personal and specific attributes. The resulting Cavalry .44-40 Caliber revolver was elaborately engraved by world engraving master L.D. Nimschke. This re-creation is an identical reproduction of that gun, which has been called America’s most beautiful presidential gun.
Every detail of the elaborate engraving and American scrollwork have been re-created in this replica masterpiece. This antique replica gun is one of the most handsome and distinguished handguns in our nation’s history. The grips display an elaborately engraved buffalo, the most prized trophy of the Western plain. L.D. Nimshke was one of the finest gun artists of his time. Even today, his distinctive work is sought after by collectors all over world.
