About Cimarron 1851 Richards-Mason
In 1871, Colt employee Charles Richards was awarded a patent for converting Colt percussion models to breech loading cartridge revolvers. The Richards cartridge conversion was an instant success. On July 2, 1872, William Mason, another Colt employee, was awarded a patent for an improvement to the Richards model. Conversion models remained popular with cowboys (many originals will be found with imprints of fence staples on the butt) even after the introduction of the 1873 Colt. This was due to the low cost of conversion models.

Well made revolver and fun to envision yourself as the avenging pistolero righting wrongs and saving the day. Fit and finish is excellent. Just a nice piece of historic reproduction.
