I have a Dragoon, the "light weight" offspring of the Walker. It is one heavy handgun. It is no wonder the holsters made for them were intended to be worn by the HORSE!

Great gun and sign. Where did you pick up the sign?

Great chunk of iron. My friend has a Dragoon so I made him this slim jim. I stuck my SAA in there for the shot. I have to get it to him to see if his gun fits in it OK. Fancy border stamped and this one is russet brown. Anyone interested, $60 shipped until the end of the month. Hope you don't mind me hijacking your thread but these great sixguns don't get much coverage in these forums. Thanks.

Barry,
The sign is a dead ringer. . .way to go. Could I see some close ups of the Walker? I've never seen one up close, but from what I have heard this is a formidable weapon.
Thanks.

I got it here..
It was after Nov 1st but talked them into free shipping. It looks aged like it should. The letters aren't burnt, but painted (not sure which was done of the real one in the movie). The letters are aged some too.
Didn't consider as a hijack. If you can hook some people up with some good leather, go for it! Nice looking holster by the way.
It is a pretty hefty hunk of iron. Almost 16 inches long and 4 1/2 pounds. Try holding that one handed in firing position.... I believe it would do a good job for a pistol whipping...
It's a Uberti in charcoal blue which can be seen here. I'll try and get some pics up of it tonight or tomorrow night.
Good question, maybe someone will know, I don't.
Anybody else have some old BP guns (or replicas) they could post? I wouldn't mind seeing them....
Thanks for the interest everybody.
At the NRA convention in Phoenix back in (was it '86?) the original Colt Walker, actually used by Captain Walker, was on display. To my amazement, the owner actually let me handle it. I think several thousand dollars worth of atoms actually transferred to my hands - I didn't want to wash my hands for weeks. Sure was a helluva revolver, for sure.

I may have to get me one.
One of the gun shows we have at my hotel a guy sets up with a real Walker (which he let me handle). It's a beater, but still valuable. I didnt ask the price, but he had a big bore Colt revolving rifle he was going to throw in with the Walker if someone bought it.

Well , since my all-time favorite movie and the one that started my love affair with black powder sixguns is The Outlaw Josey Wales , ya know I got a brace of Walkers (Colt Blackpowder Series & Armi San Marco) as well as an 1860 (Colt Signature Series) for a belly gun.

That goes to show how imposing a pair of Colt Walkers are when you consider an 1860 Army 44 a belly gun!

Does anyone know if Walker replicas are available that are setup to fire cartridges?? Would love to have one of these beautiful firearms, but I am not messing with BP!!

In OJW , Clint carried 2 Walkers in holsters (Walkers were originally meant to be carried in saddle or 'pommel' holsters) , and an 1860 tucked in his belt right behind the buckle , for quick draw.
What's impressive is the way he handled these behemoth revolvers with ease.

What does the Latin mean at the bottom of the sign?
Pics as requested
As requested but I'm not too good with the camera. A pic of the Walker, both sides, and a pic with a 6 1/2" .44 Magnum.

mkk41, I was really speaking for myself and agreeing with you. I mean I personally consider my 1860 conversion a belly gun compared to Walker Colts. I knew what you meant even though I might have sounder like I was disagreeing with you. sorry about that.
