Wasn't Marshal Dillon's Peacemaker, of Gunsmoke fame, a Great Western?
Not sure on Marshal Dillion, but I believe John Wayne was given a matching pair of Great Western revolvers and thatβs what he carried in The Shootist.
Yes. It's a 1st model Russian or 2nd Model American in the Russian caliber, depending on how you want to describe it. Made in 1874. It came from Fredricksburg, Texas and if the ivory grips are not factory original, they are at least, very, very old.

Yes John Wayne used the Great Western Engraved Just like yours and His personal Guns . Super nice
Love the Smith.. I have a Bowie like that won it in my Predator Calling Club raffle. Actually a decent Bowie for the money. Full tang construction, pinned fake stage scales, razor sharp...
Been cycling through the handguns in the safe, checking them out, cleaning and lubing. Sometimes, after they've been cleaned and lubed, they look too nice not to snap a picture of them before packing them back up and putting them away again. I also want to get out and shoot just about every gun I pull out of the safe that hasn't been to the range in a while, but there are only so many hours in a day, and only so many days in a week. I try, though.
This is the Uberti 44special with the 1860 grip frame on it. Great feeling single action. I'm going to make the same conversion one of these days to a Colt, hopefully in 44 special. I had the Colt at one time but life got in the way of keeping it. The Colt didn't shoot nearly as good as the Uberti anyway and I worried too much about scuffing it up, so down the road it went. This Uberti is one that shoots where it is pointed and I don't mind using as a beater.
