Catch the Bear is written in togia on this revolver. He was a Kiglaska Hunkpapa chief and grew up with Sitting Bull and was a friend of Sitting Bull's brother. David Bald Eagle (the grandson of Sitting Bull's nephew) told the Collector that after the Little Bighorn battle was over, this revolver was found in a black leather bag carried by one of the dead soldiers. The story of how Catch the Bear was able to keep the revolver is found in "More History". Catch the Bear died trying to protect Sitting Bull when he was killed in 1890.
