I found this picture on the internet. It shows the authentic .357 Registered Magnum carried by Gen. George S. Patton Jr. during WWII, together with a look-alike put together for the movies. Patton purchased his pistol in 1935. It had a 3.5" barrel with a gold bead front sight and the S&W grip adopter. He customized it with ivory stocks, scrimshawed with his intertwined initials. The caption on this picture on the internet was incorrect as to which is the authentic Patton revolver.
