Our Model 1873 "Fast-Draw" six-shot non-firing replica revolver--in shiny nickel finish with polished wood grip--is mounted over an antiqued copy of the ordi-nance against carrying firearms within the city li-mits of Tombstone in the Arizona Territory. 14.5" x 17.5" rustic barnwood frame. The revolver is a full size metal (zinc) and wood replica. It can be easily removed from the frame to test the working loading and firing mechanisms.
HISTORY: One of the first things "town-tamers" like the Earp Brothers would do to get violence under control was to ask the city council to enact a city ordinance prohibiting the carrying of firearms within the city limits. That was the case when Virgil Earp, a deputy U.S. Marshal, took on the job of City Marshal to curtail violence in the streets of Tombstone, a wild and lawless mining town in the Arizona Territory. And although there was ongoing conflict between the outlaw group, the Cow-Boys and the Earps, the fuse that actually ignited the Gunfight at the OK Corral was a dispute between Marshal Earp and Ike Clanton over Claton's refusal to surrender his sidearm while inside the Tombstone city limits. Clanton was pistol-whipped, arrested and fined, and after making bail, left town swearing to return and avenge his treatment at the hands of the Earps. He did return, with his brother Billy, the McLaury brothers and Billy Claibourn--all members of the Cow-Boys gang--and the most famous gunfight in the history of the West was the result.

The Model 1873 "six Shooter" was popular with lawmen, cowboys and outlaws alike, with its back-loading cylinder and the ability to fire the new, self-contained metal cartridges. It came in three barrel lengths--the Western (4.75", like the one in this set); the Cowboy, with a 5.5" barrel; and the Cavalry Model, with a 7 or 7.5" barrel for greater range and accuracy.
