The Taylor’s 1873 Cattleman .45 Long Colt is a single-action revolver from Taylor’s & Company, a reproduction of the peacemaker that won the west with a 4.75-inch blued barrel (Taylor’s part no. 550887). This New Model frame Cattleman in the standard finish has a case-hardened forged steel frame, blued steel parts and a smaller Navy-size grip. A wider front fixed blade, a rear sight notch in the frame and a spring-retained quick release cylinder pin set it apart. Six rounds of .45 Long Colt fill the cylinder.
