The Old Ft. Meade Museum and Historical Association is raffling off a reproduction revolver by Cimarron Arms, cavalry holster and belt like was used by the 7th Cavalry. Cimarron's 7th Cavalry model in .45 Colt, is another great historical reproduction inspired by an original in their antique collection. It’s a detail-perfect rendition of the single action of Custer's ill-fated 7th Cavalry's, legendary revolver.
Each authentic 7 1/2-inch barreled, firearm is properly stamped with Orville W. Ainsworth's OWA cartouche on the walnut stock, government proof marks and the inspector's initials are found in all of the appropriate locations and the last 4 numbers of the serial numbering is on the cylinder, as well as on the color case hardened frame, trigger guard and blued butt strap. The proper 2-line patent dates and the U.S. stamping is also found on the left side of the frame, as with genuine "Custer era" cavalry revolvers. Stamped into the butt of the backstrap is the company and 7th Cavalry markings. This model is limited to just 2,000 units of each of Custer's five companies C, E, F, I and L, that perished under his command at the Little Big Horn.
The revolver in the raffle is marked Co. C, which was commanded by Capt. Thomas Custer, brother of Lt. Col. George Custer.
