John Wayne question

[serialsolver]

What gun did John Wayne use in Legend of the Lost?

 

[BaldEagle1313]

IMFDB doesn't even list a movie by that name, either under movie title or the John Wayne page.

Main Page - imfdb :. guns in movies :. movie guns :. the internet movie firearms database

 

[ringo1597]

With Sophie Loren, made in 1957. Unknown what type of gun.

Don't know about Duke, but t'other guy seems to have a Nagant.

Ivory grips, of course.

Alpo, thanks for the info and photo.

Humph, that's one of the Duke's movies I've never seen.

Watching the Shootist right now. I miss the Duke being around.

 

[The Last Standing Knight]

John Wayne...with a NAGANT?!
I now have officially seen everything.......

Watching the Shootist right now. I miss the Duke being around.

It was hard watching it, knowing it was his last movie.

Maybe now somebody will offer a John Wayne Nagant Commemorative

Try John Wayne as Genghis Khan ("The Conqueror") - now that's hard to watch. Dear God...John Wayne as an or-eye-ental?

Regards,

Yes, a Nagant, But it is not necessarily a Russian, could be Swedish or Swiss Nagant too.

 

[Alpo]

True. When I found the first pic (and I've decided that is not HIS gun, but that he had Duke's gun), I thought it looked like a Husky. The size of the knob on the end of the ejector rod. I don't think the Russians are that big.

Wasn't the Nagant originally a Belgian design?

What puzzles me is why they had one in that desert in the pics. I'd have expected a Webley or a Lebel M-92.

If you were going to Egypt, and thought you might need a gun, would you go and expect to pick up something there, or would you pack what you liked? Brendan Frasier, in The Mummy, carried two French double action revolvers, but also carried two 1911s. One of the "competing archeologists" carried a Single Action Army. Indiana Jones went all over the world with a Smith N frame HE.

Well, sometimes, you have to use what you find, depending on how the hero got the gun. I was thinking that the prop man might have had to accept what was there.

I haven't seen the film, and don't know if it was in Egypt. Was this Nagant the property of a man whose origins suggest that make of revolver?

Or as a sailor with a cheesy swedish accent in "The Long Voyage Home"

 

[Texas Star]

Or, as a Roman officer at the time of the Crucifixtion?
Which movie was that in? I think Wayne was wearing two swords.

It was sort of a cameo role, where he appeared briefly.
