Check out the Custer Battlefield Gun. I guess this is a new offering form USFA. Sure wouldn't mind adding one of these to the stable.

WOW! :o That's one of the best aging jobs that i've seen. IT looks like a 130 year old Colt. If they all look that good I'd say they have a winner
in the instant antique market.

Mike Venturino did a write up on this gun in American Handgunner and it looks very authentic.

I just received one, and it is out of this world.  When my gunshop guy called and said it was in, he said there was no doubt that it was looking very period correct.  He was right.  The Antique Patina finish is awesome.
