Item Description
Bryant Ridge Co. is pleased to present this limited-edition cap & ball revolver today for a penny-start auction, this is the Uberti / United States Historical Society Colt Walker “Sam Houston / Texas Sesquicentennial” Commemorative!
The Sam Houston / Texas Sesquicentennial Colt Walker is a masterfully crafted tribute, produced by Uberti under authorization by the United States Historical Society to honor Sam Houston and commemorate the 150th anniversary of Texas’s independence in 1986. Sam Houston (1793–1863) was a soldier, statesman, and pivotal figure in American and Texan history: a veteran of the War of 1812, a protégé of Andrew Jackson, and later the commander of the Texian Army, Houston secured Texas’s independence with his decisive victory at the Battle of San Jacinto in 1836. He went on to become the first elected President of the Republic of Texas and later served as U.S. Senator and Governor, earning a legacy as a defining symbol of Texas leadership, frontier diplomacy, and American expansion. This commemorative is not only a reproduction of the legendary Colt Walker — a .44-caliber black-powder revolver developed in 1847 by Samuel Colt and Texas Ranger Captain Samuel Hamilton Walker — but also a tangible narrative of Houston’s life, achievements, and enduring influence.
Meticulously engraved with gold-inlaid, this commemorative is a visual chronicle of Houston’s military victories, political achievements, and Texas history. Presented in a French-fitted walnut case with period-style accessories — including a brass powder flask, bullet mold, cap tin, and nipple wrench— this commemorative is limited to 2,500 pieces, making it a highly sought-after centerpiece for collectors of Western firearms and American historical memorabilia. By combining technical precision, artistic mastery, and historical storytelling, the Uberti / United States Historical Society Sam Houston / Texas Sesquicentennial Colt Walker transcends its status as a firearm, emerging as a museum-quality work of art that celebrates one of the most consequential figures in Texas history and the Texas Sesquicentennial.
