Cimarron's U.S. Cavalry "Buffalo Soldier" Model is as close as you can get to the originals. Cimarron has gone above and beyond to research the features and markings present on this historic firearm. 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.
