Description

Kentucky Flintlock Long Barrel Pistol Stanhope Souvenir with Single Image of Famous Cowboy Buffalo Bill Cody.

A Very nicely made Kentucky Long Barrel Pistol Gun Stanhope figural made of silver and wood. The silver purity is undetermined but looks to be sterling. The wood is oak and particularly with characteristics and grain of quarter-sawn "white oak". When we received this item it was in desperate need of cleaning in order just to see the image. The cleaning removed some of the original silver patina and revealed the image in the stanhope lens. We try to avoid cleaning items but in this case it was necessary. It is now in beautiful condition and our cleaning was as conservatively as possible. The stanhope is clear and easy to see and reveals a single image of "Buffalo Bill Cody" who was famous for his Wild West Show and his contribution in the US Civil War, among other things. This was likely sold as a souvenir of his Wild West Show. The image depicts "Buffalo Bill" atop his Horse. This is a great piece for anyone collecting stanhopes, civil war memorabilia, cowboy and western souvenirs.

The stanhope is titled:

COL. WM. F. CODY

"BUFFALO BILL"

It is also marked MADE IN FRANCE along the right side.
