The arms dealer WH e.K. offers:Western revolver, Armi Jäger (Dakota) Italy Frontier Buntline, caliber .45 Colt, replica: Colt M1873 The arms manufacturer has been active since the early 1950s, producing semi-automatic .22 rimfire sporting rifles and replica "Western" revolvers. Later, it evolved into rimfire and small caliber centerfire firearms (.32 ACP) that were modeled after the appearance of military rifles.  The factory sold most of its designs under the trade name Adler. The Armi Jager production recorded significant sales in Italy and exports to the United States, gaining a reputation for high-quality rifles. Firearm production at Jager ended in early 1993, according to the former owner Mr. Piscetta, due to "lack of qualified personnel." However, the business continues as a gun shop and gunsmith in the town of Basaluzzo in the province of Alessandria.High-quality Colt Buntline Special Peacemaker revolver with an extra-long 16-inch barrel. The name addition "Buntline Special" comes from this Single Action Army type revolver, thanks to a colorful and notorious figure named Edward Z.C. Judson. Under the pseudonym Ned Buntline, Judson is considered one of the best dime novel authors from the "Wild West" era. However, he is also regarded as one of the most notorious con artists and fraudsters of that time. He claimed, among other things, to have received several special, extra-long Colt SAA 1873 (engraved with his initials) from the Colt company, which he allegedly presented to Wyatt Earp, among others. This claim has not been confirmed to this day. However, the Colt company did produce a very limited number of Single Action Army 1873 revolvers with extra-long barrels starting in 1876.Due to Buntline's fame and the widespread legend surrounding his revolvers, these rare, extra-long Peacemaker revolvers are often referred to as "Buntline Special." These revolvers with barrel lengths of 12 to 16 inches are now sought-after collector's items and are rarely available for sale.The Colt Single Action Army (also known as Peacemaker, Equalizer, or Widowmaker) was introduced in 1873 in the American Army and quickly gained popularity among civilians. This Colt in caliber .45 was produced until 1940 with various barrel lengths. The Buntline could be ordered with a shoulder stock and choose between a fixed and an adjustable sight. The Buntline model was a Peacemaker with an overlong barrel of 12" to 16". Allegedly, this model was commissioned by the author Ned Buntline. This "Colt" is a faithful reproduction of the original from 1873.Manufacturer Armi Jäger (Dakota) Italy, Nuova Jager S.R.L., Via dell’Artigianato 65, Zona Artigianale D3, 15121 Alessandria ([email protected]) 6-shot cylinder, fluted16" barrelBlued finishColor-hardened closed frameWalnut gripEjector lever under the barrelCaliber: .45 ColtUsed good condition, maintained with minor signs of useValid proof* Used with corresponding signs of wear. *  All information without guarantee!Life-threatening due to gunshot injuryWhen handling a loaded weapon, an unintentional discharge is possible.> Only use the weapon after you have read and understood this manufacturer's manual in full.> Observe the manufacturer's safety instructions when handling the weapon.> Conduct a safety check before working on the weapon.* Take the opportunity to view in the store.
