Annual Gun Raffle

Wild Bill Colt 1851 Navy Conversion .38 Special (SP)

Hands down, James Butler “Wild Bill” Hickok was the prototype of the Old West gunfighters, who displayed his deadly shooting skills with a pair of muzzleloading, ivory-gripped revolvers. This exact replica from Uberti USA is more practically chambered for the easily available .39 special cartridge while still offering all the romance and flavor of Wild Bill’s legendary sidearms. This revolver has a blue steel, case-hardened finish with a simulated ivory grip.

All proceeds benefit the Deadwood museums and education.

Located in the beautiful Black Hills of South Dakota, Deadwood was the site of the last major gold rush in the continental United States. The discovery of gold in 1875 led to the founding of Deadwood the following year and brought enormous wealth and notoriety to the area. The booming town immediately gained a reputation as a rough-and-tumble mining camp where Wild Bill Hickok was killed and Calamity Jane earned her fame. Eventually, with the arrival of electricity, telephone service, and the railroad, Deadwood grew into a stable and thriving business community.
