The Outlaw Josey Wales (1975)
Clint Eastwood as Josey Wales
Italian Colt Walker - .44 caliber

This gun, and the similar Walker used in True Grit, were both used in The Outlaw Josey Wales by Clint Eastwood. Both revolvers are Italian reproductions and have been converted to fire five-in-one blanks for film use. At some point in its rental history a loading lever catch similar to those used on Dragoon revolvers was added to the gun. The poster for this film featured an enraged Josey Wales holding both revolvers.
