This desirable piece is a full-page advertisement for B. Kittredge & Co., a continuing marketing campaign for the newly introduced "Colt New Model Army Metallic Cartridge Revolving Pistol", more commonly known as the Colt Single Action Army revolver, or sometimes the legendary "Peacemaker" as it is so-called in this advertisement. Kittredge & Co. had begun advertising the revolver as early as 1874, however, with this piece dated 27 October 1876, it could still be considered very early in the story of the Peacemaker. This eye-grabbing advertisement prominently features a life size drawing of the revolver, the cartridge, and the legendary Rampant Colt trademark. It also shows "The Peacemaker" nickname in multiple places and has the printed notes from the Ordnance Department giving their nod to the revolver. The piece is mounted and nicely matted in a frame that has an antique gold finish and measures 24 7/8 x 19 1/8 inches overall.
