However, within a few years, most of the American citizens got one of these revolvers. The fact that it used ammunition of the same caliber as the Winchester M1873 rifle helped its popularization as a short weapon in the old North American West in the late nineteenth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCuriously, this revolver has received numerous nicknames. Apart of the mentioned Peacemaker, also it was known as Frontier or Widowmaker, in reference to the facility of this revolver to left widows among the wives of the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe film industry mythified the \"Peacemaker\" in the westerns of the 40s and 50s, and it was associated with big screen stars like John Wayne or Gary Cooper. Also Roosevelt had one with his initials engraved and George S. Patton used two.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Denix (Spain)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDenix reference:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1107\/G\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Revolver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHistorical period:\u003c\/strong\u003e American Civil War and Old West (1861–1899)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Grey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 35 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1,020 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDisplay ideas\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eShow it on a wooden stand, in a glass cabinet or a shadow box, or on the wall of a study, library or games room.
