1.1.3 Single Action Army Cavalry Model (7.5" barrel).1.1.2 Single Action Army Artillery Model (5.5" barrel).1.1.1 Single Action Army Quickdraw Model (4.75" barrel).The following weapons were used in the film Tombstone: Peter Sherayko, who portrayed Vermillion in the film, is a film armorer and expert on guns of the Old West and was responsible for providing the majority of the firearms for this production. Tombstone was released only six months prior to Wyatt Earp, a rival Western that starred Kevin Costner as the lawman. The cast also included Val Kilmer, Sam Elliott, and Bill Paxton. Cosmatos and starred Kurt Russell as the legendary lawman Wyatt Earp. Ya really ought to get Peter's book, go thru it and then watch the movie again, and again.Īnd I can hardly wait to take Peter up on his invite to tour the Caravan West facilities.Tombstone is a 1993 Western that concentrates on the events leading up to the infamous shootout between the Earps and the Clantons at the O.K. (Turkey Creeks Remington was modified by Caravan's gunsmith to appear more original by refinishing and removing the cross pin) The drunk that Turkey Creek "dispached from the saloon" carried an open top Merwin with 2 piece pearl gripsĪnd of course there were a host of EMF guns too. There is another 1878 that Wyatt took offJohnny Tyler and given to Milt Joyce to safe keep and was given back to Wyatt when he arrested Curley Bill, which I now think is the one you were refering to.įrank Stillwells Colt was an original fdigit frame with US artilery markings and made in 1874 Sherm McMasters carried an original 1878 Colt DA in 44/40 fully engraved with full engraving and came from the Mexican Railway I couldn't find mention of that gun, but I didn't fully reread, but many of the guns in the movie were original. Is its use described/explained in the book? I was sort of impressed to see it in the movie as there were no replicas made, so it has to be an original. It is in the scene where he threatens to turn Ike Clanton's head into a canoe. Ride easy, but stay alert! Godspeed to those still in harm's way in the defense of Freedom everywhere! God Bless America!Ĭurley - in one scene in the movie, Curt Russell is using the 1878 Colt Double Action. Only problem with the gun was that when I got a look at it and the inscription style and serial number it had been made at least a year after Doc died! But then maybe it referred to a different "Doc" and "Kate"! The caption mentioned that the derringer was given to the hotel keeper after Doc passed in payment of a bill. The photo didn't show the top of the barrel where the inscriptions are. A photo of it had also appeared in the softcover book, "Guns of the Gunfighters". I once saw a Remington O/U Double Derringer that had an inscription on the back of the grip: "To Doc From Kate". The dentist-gambler-saloonkeeper-gunfighter died of tuberculosis, at age thirth-five, 1887. Documenting papers reveal nephew told by his Uncle Doc, on deathbed, that this had been his regular six-gun throughout exploits in the West, the "Shootout at the O.K. Wilson, on page 160 is a picture of a SAA, blued, walnut grips (no cartouche, however, there is a "US" on the frame), 7½ inch barrel.
