Italian Reproductions of Civil War Era Revolvers

[Brickie]

Have you seen the new repro of the of the gun used by Blondie? Cimmaron has the open top colt with the snake in the grip. It's in 38 special. They also have the 45 single action army,with snake, used in the two other Italian westerns. They look great. Check out cimmaron's web site.

I did see that advertised somewhere...but I never noticed the snake grip in the movie...

I was always amused by the Tuco character spinning cylinders, swapping frames, and listening to the lockwork [gunshop scene]...But when I finally owned a .454 Casull, and listened/compared the movement of the lockwork to my Ruger .44 Magnum, I realized that Sergio Leone was illustrating a little known fact...Some are better made than others...
