The Wyatt Earp Frontier Scout we have in our possession bears the serial number 44LWE. This highly sought-after model is a rare and significant piece, especially among collectors of Western memorabilia. Wyatt Earp, a legendary figure in the American Old West, was known for his roles as a lawman, gunfighter, and frontier scout. His involvement in infamous shootouts, particularly the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral, cemented his place in history. Though often depicted as the central figure in the shootout, it was his brother Virgil who held more law enforcement authority that day. Earp's storied career also included stints as a boxing referee and his enduring legacy as a symbol of frontier justice. The Wyatt Earp Frontier Scout is a true collector's item, celebrated for its historical importance and connection to one of the most iconic figures of the American West.

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Colt Buntline Special was a long-barreled variant of the Colt Single Action Army revolver, which Stuart N. Lake described in his best-selling but largely fictionalized 1931 biography, Wyatt Earp: Frontier Marshall. According to Lake, the dime novalist Ned Buntline commissioned the production of five Buntline Specials. Lake described them as extra-long Colt Single Action Army revolvers, with a 12-inch (300 mm)-long barrel, and stated that Buntline presented them to five lawmen in thanks for their help in contributing local color to his western yarns. Lake attributed the gun to Wyatt Earp, but modern researchers have not found any supporting evidence from secondary sources or in available primary documentation of the gun's existence prior to the publication of Lake's book. After its publication, various Colt revolvers with long (10-inch or 16-inch) barrels were called Colt Buntlines or Buntline Specials. Colt manufactured the pistol among its second-generation revolvers produced after 1956. A number of other manufacturers, such as Uberti, Navy Arms, and Cimarron Arms, have made their own versions of this long-barreled revolver. The Colt Frontier Scout is a single action revolver produced by Colt Manufacturing. This particular example is part of the Buntline Lawman Series commemorating one of the most well-known gunmen of the 18th century, Wyatt Earp! This example is ONE OF ONLY 3,000 ever made!
