Doc Boone's revolver in "Stagecoach"?
« on: June 10, 2017, 02:08:16 PM »
     I just watched the 1966 version of " Stagecoach" and I'm trying to figure out what kind of revolver Doc  Boone, played by Bing Crosby used in the Indian fight scene.  He was a Union veteran and I think his revolver resembled a Starr single action .44 percussion model, but I  was unable to get a really good look at it.   Anybody have a handle on what it was?

Don't know what that is but it isn't a Star I don't think.

     Thanks guys, I think its definitely  a Gasser .  I thought the ejector rod was a loading lever.
