Another honest judge and police chief "protecting" that pistol so nothing bad happens to it. Hahahaha, what a great story !! Mike, I love your stories, but this one is the best yet. Thanks for sharing with us.
What a great story! Could you just imagine what that revolver saw in it's time....I recently called down to Cimarron to ask a question about one of their 1874 sharps rifles I wanted to buy about 5 days ago and I could swear it was a man named mike who answered and his voice sounded just like this mike's voice....if it was Mike Harvey, he was the nicest man who spoke to me..I was asking the difference between the down under sharps and the down under 2 sharps.....you guys have a customer for life and I bought the 1874 sharps rifle just after I finished talking to him because of how well I was treated by the man named mike at cimarron. If it was by chance Mike Harvey I spoke to, please tell him thank you for being so honest and nice to me.
Great story on the history on this gun. I hope you do come out with a replica in 44 WCF (44-40). All the history and the fact that there was a grave robbery that adds an interesting twist.
Oh god, that's got to be the funniest story you've ever said on your channel, an I have a book on the west that told the story of "KING FISHER", Thx for the vid.
Maybe John King Fisher's spirit had something to do with his gun ending up in good hands with Mike, now he can rest in peace. Great story, thanks Mike and Charles.
Mike, I'd love to see a Cimarron replica of this King Fisher SAA Frontier Six Shooter, complete with the Frontier Six Shooter etching on the barrel. Do it and I'll be glad to write it up for GUNS OF THE OLD WEST magazine. A replica of Fisher's Uvalde Co. Sheriff's badge would be a great accessory and photo prop.
Thanks for your concern. All we really know is we have a gun, and we have a story. Is the gun real? Yes. Is the story real? Thats up for debate. Thanks for watching.
Hmmmmmmmmm 🤔, back in the day, law enforcement (many of them) operated on both sides of the law. * I do have my doubts on this story because the the fluids of the decomposing body would have done a lot of damage to the finish. ** Let's also remember that in 1884, when King Fischer died, the cost of the firearm was about a months salary. Tossing good working handguns into a coffin . . . that makes absolutely no sense to me.
@@martinstiastny7679 I was a cop in a big city ( will not name). When I came on the job and for a few years if you confiscated a gun off of the street and made an arrest, you could ask the judge for the gun when the case was finished. I never got one, but I do know a few people who did. But, most of the really fine weapons were taken by the judge. One that I recall was a .45 Colt 1911, nickel plated with an ivory handle taken from a Mexican drug dealer. Playing on both sides of the law will always be with us. But, at one time, getting that handgun was legal as long as the judge signed off
@@johndavic7468 I was a cop too. NYPD, 1984 to 2006. We NEVER had that option. Evidence was evidence. Firearms were either dropped into the Manhattan trench or the guns were melted down to make man hole covers.
@@martinstiastny7679 I was talking about late 60's into very early 70's. It was up to the judge. The newspapers found out about it and the practice stopped. But, I can tell you the judges took the best weapons for themselves. Even if the arrestee was found not guilty, the judge refused to return the firearm.
I am a decendandt of kingfisher as kids we were only told about his sherif position and nothing negative. I would love to own a copy of one of his guns
Yes we do! All Old Model revolvers are regular hammer. With Pre War Models, all Uberti's have the Safety Hammer and all Pietta's have a regular hammer. Any more questions, please call us at 830 997 9090. Thanks!

THIS IS A LIE! My Great Great Grandfather's pistols are in Nebraska! His lever action Remington model 2 is with us in Pennsylvania! NOT A WINCHESTER!!! The family gave him the nickname of King. Please try to verify more information you are incorrect on a lot!!! HE WAS NOT BURIED WITH HIS GUNS! HIS DAUGHTER EDNA GAVE THE RIFLE TO MY FATHER!! I am sorry you were lied to it's a colorful myth and nothing else!!!!
@@valeriewilson5435 hi I just read your comment I would love to see a picture I believe I am a decendant of his and never learned much my family only mentioned the end part just that he was a sheriff and a little wild before that

@@cimarronFA “When legend becomes fact, print the legend.” Nice firearm, fact or “legend” nice story. The part about the bag of old arrowheads is priceless.
that story couldn't be true, King Fishers Cast iron casket was welded shut by all accounts when it was retrieved. That Judge took you both for 1,000 dollars back in the 80's lol

One of the best stories I've ever listened to

This was a true pleasure getting to know more about this. I love the store in Fredericksburg. Anyhow, many thanks.
I thoroughly enjoyed the story. Thank you very much. Have a blessed week. LORD GOD Bless and stay vigilant.
Great story on the history on this gun. I hope you do come out with a replica in 44 WCF (44-40). All the history and the fact that there was a grave robbery that adds an interesting twist.

Very interesting sir hope u had a good Christmas n new year

Love your channel. It’s a shame that we don’t have this in South Africa. Would love to buy the 1873 colt 45 in the future. Great stories. Stay safe
Very entertaining

So, the cop stole the revolver along with the judge. So much for honesty in the criminal justice system. The revolver belongs to the family

Is Charles still at the store? I’ve brought a few to buy guns there, and now I need a Richards-Mason conversion in 45lc.
Charles is enjoying his retirement now. He still drops by the store though to shop and say hi.
I am a decendandt of kingfisher as kids we were only told about his sherif position and nothing negative. I would love to own a copy of one of his guns
Do you still sell Model P Revolvers with the regular firing pin and not the retractable model?
Yes we do! All Old Model revolvers are regular hammer. With Pre War Models, all Uberti's have the Safety Hammer and all Pietta's have a regular hammer. Any more questions, please call us at 830 997 9090. Thanks!
What was the other 2 guns in the casket?
Love to hear the info from colt please please please
One hell of a story. Better write it down so you don't forget.
Thanks!. We took a video. Even better!
Not sure about this one....if someone put those guns in the coffin with him..they probably meant them to stay there
Thanks for your concern. All we really know is we have a gun, and we have a story. Is the gun real? Yes. Is the story real? Thats up for debate. Thanks for watching.
But he couldn't take them with him and theyr doing more good now than being six feet under ground

and they did because that coffin was by all accounts WELDED SHUT! lol
Old guns are best.
Nice story that was well told. In summarizing, they purchased a stolen firearm with knowledge that it was stolen. Interesting ...

Isn't that grave robbery?
Lol was thinking the same thing
Since the perpetrators are dead and all this information comes from third parties it would be difficult to prove.
And a good story always helps when introducing a new product

Jeez, guys, show the pistol a bit more!!!!!
Call me superstitious, but I don’t think I’d want to own a dead man’s gun that I found in a grave. Lol great story though!

i love this story .. my guess is he was buried in a Fisk Iron coffin
yes and by all accounts it was welded shut so this story couldn't be true lol
