Excellent condition, just about new-in-box miniature Colt Buntline. This has a case-hardened frame, blued barrel, and walnut grips, and is fitted with a folding rear sight on top of the flat frame. The case colors and blue are brilliant and the grips are bright and un-marred. The pistol is a function This is houses in its original glass top, red-lined, wood display case with plaque at lower left reading, “COLT S.A.A. BUNTLINE SPECIAL/CLASSIC EDITION/LICENSED BY COLT'S MANUFACTURING CO. INC./ISSUED BY AMERICA REMEMBERS.” The case in turn in contained in a red box with the Colt trademark in gold on the top note that it is part of the “Authentic Colt Miniature Series” with the company name of the issuer and note that it is licensed by “Colt’s Manufacturing Company, Inc.” The inside of the top of the box bears a blue and white certificate signed by officers of the issuer and subsidiary company testifying that it is number “350” out of 1,500 in the “Classic Edition” series.

The Colt Buntline was popularized, if not wholly invented, in Stuart Lake’s 1931 biography of Wyatt Earp, which asserted newspaperman and dime-novelist Ned Buntline, the literary pseudonym of E.Z.C. Judson, had specially ordered five long-barreled Colts in 1876 and presented them to Earp and four other lawmen. The notion was likely helped by the existence of some long-barreled Colts, usually referred to by the far less romantic term, “buggy rifles.” Well, “when the legend become fact, print the legend,” as John Ford says and the Colt Buntline revolver has become a permanent part of the story of Wyatt Earp and a fixture in “west of the imagination,” earning it a place in any collection devoted to the American west, as well a place in the specialized field of highly detailed and fully functioning miniature firearms.  [sr] [ph:L]
