Cimarron Firearms US Cavalry Henry Nettelton 45Lc 7.5 PP514M00HN

Inspired by the very rare and extremely sought-after 1st Generation Colt pistols inspected by US Ordnance Department Principle Sub-Inspector in Charge Henry Nettleton Cimarron Firearms recreated the Colt Single-Action Cavalry Model with his unique inspection initials. The Cimarron replica of the US Cavalry 1873 model showcases the features that made this gun the weapon of choice for government troops. The Henry Nettleton Cavalry is a 45LC single-action six-shooter with a 7
-inch barrel in a standard blue finish with walnut grips. What makes the Henry Nettleton model so unique is that Nettleton a US Principal Sub-Inspector for the US Ordnance Department in 1878 only inspected and stamped about 3000 guns. Additionally Nettleton placed his inspection stamp on the left side of the hammer and trigger guard unlike any other inspector. Why he was allowed to do this is still unknown. Many of the guns Nettleton inspected were later refurbished for the NY Militia and barrels were cut down to 5
-inches and case hardened along with the cylinder hammer and trigger and trigger guard. The Cimarron US Cavalry 1873 Henry Nettleton pays respect to the original 1st generation Colt government models inspected by Henry Nettleton down to the details of proof marks and all of Nettleton
s inspection stamps using the exact same fonts and placements as the originals.
