This limited edition Buffalo model recreates the Remington 1858/New Model Army pattern with a solid topstrap and an under-barrel loading lever. It is a six-shot percussion revolver in .44 caliber, and the barrel is marked "BLACK POWDER ONLY 44 CAL." The frame is also marked "Limited Edition of 5000," confirming its place in the series.
The two-tone finish pairs a gold-colored/brass-finished frame with a blued octagonal 12-inch barrel and blued cylinder. Factory engraving includes gold-tone scrollwork on the barrel flats and gold-etched buffalo and frontier scenes on the cylinder, giving this piece its Buffalo-series identity.
Sighting is set up with a fixed front blade and a factory adjustable rear sight mounted in the topstrap. The extended 12-inch barrel is the Buffalo configuration and provides a long sight radius. Smooth white grip panels complete the visual contrast with the blued and brass-finished components.
Italian proof marks and a boxed Italian date code are present, and the factory box end label confirms "1858 Buffalo" and .44 caliber. This is a factory-engraved, collectible run limited to 5,000 pieces, combining period pattern features with distinctive Buffalo-themed aesthetic details.
