Limited Edition 1 of 5000 "Buffalo Hunter" 1858
« on: November 06, 2008, 06:52:05 PM »
A friend of mine gave me this to find out what it might be worth.  It is a brass frame Limited Edition 1 of 5000 "Buffalo Hunter" 1858 with a gold washed engraved 12" barrel with adjustable sights and faux ivory grips.  Any ideas?  It has been fired and has a noticably ringed cylinder.

Never heered of one of them.   Who was it made by ?
Beware the man with one gun, he probably knows how to use it.

Hey Wolfgang.  It is a Pietta made critter.  There is a much more fancier one on GunBroker that has a nickel plated frame that is fully engraved and is in a nice presentation box with goodies.  That is the only reference I could find. ???

The Limited Edition Remington 1858 was a limited edition of 5000 pieces.  They originally came in a glass top case with two revolvers with consecutive serial numbers.  They were sold exclusively through The Sportsman’s Guide, Inc.  Serial numbers ran from TSG0001 to TSG5000.  They were manufactured by Pietta.  Original price was $385.  They also came with a certificate of authenticity with the serial number of the gun and was issued by The Sportsman’s Guide.  I know of one re-sell of $795 for the cased set.  With all original boxes, literature, and certificate they would be more.  RPRCA has set with Serial # TSG2658 & TSG2659.

I've found a similar model on Dixie Gun Works as well,

I was going to pick up one in kit form along with the 8" Texas model in kit form as well. Great looking guns, would look awesome with some stag or ivory grips.

[quote author] Whitewolf1371 I own 2 buffalo hunter limited edition .44's and have been trying to look up the darn serial numbers to find out how authentic they are because if they are they are worth about 900-1200 a peace, I collected them off a gun sale in my local town and well got them for a decent price guy told me they are all origonal hand made, not only that but the riffle barrel attachment rather then the regular short is nice to boot, it's serial number is TSG0831 if any one can find me some information on them that'd be great, my work email is whitewolf1371@gmail.com much obliged.
