The 1873 Colt 45 Peacemaker

This woodburning on a weathered old broken piece of lumber has some old west history that is loaded with provinance.

Artist Dan Allnutt has applied the ancient genre of woodburning to artifact wood from the below 1860s-era homestead. The log ranch house, which is located on a working ranch in the Arkansas River Valley of the Colorado Rockies, is but a stone’s throw away from the “new” ranch house (built in the 1880s), where Dan and brother Frank make their home.

Art’s frame measures 8.5” h by 20.5” w, and has Burgundy Suede and Blue-Stained Pine.

Though Dan and Frank are in their ‘70s and “retired,” they lend a hand to the cattle and hay operations. And, of course, they make time for their art.

“The Colt Single Action Army (also known as the Model P, Peacemaker, M1873, Single Action Army, SAA, and Colt 45) is a single action revolver with a revolving cylinder holding six metallic cartridges. It was designed for the U.S. government service revolver trials of 1873 by Colt’s Patent Firearms Manufacturing Company, today Colt’s Manufacturing Company, and adopted as the standard military service revolver until 1892.

“The Colt Single Action Army has been offered in over 30 different calibers and various barrel lengths. Its overall appearance has remained consistent since 1873. Colt has discontinued its production twice, but brought it back due to popular demand. The revolver was popular with ranchers, lawmen, and outlaws alike, but current models are mostly bought by collectors and reenactors. Its design has influenced the production of numerous other models from other companies.”—Wikipedia
