Somebody gave John Wayne an original Great Western...possibly a pair of them, but my memory fails me on that score. He used it/them in The Shootist.
I think Great Western presented John Wayne a pair of engraved consecutive numbered SA revolvers which were pictured in his movie "The Shootist". They were beautiful revolvers and made in the USA.
I copied this clip from Wikipedia "
John Wayne appeared on the company’s catalogs through its entire run. He was presented with two sets of engraved revolvers, one of these sets he used later in the 1976 film The Shootist. Audie Murphy and Mel Torme were other endorsers".
