Popular imagery has George Armstrong Custer armed with a long-barreled Colt 1873 Peacemaker cavalry model at the Little Bighorn. But according to Captain Benteen, Custer carried "two Bulldog, self-cocking, English, white-handled pistols, with a ring in the butt for a lanyard." Custer was an avid gun collector.
