It looks like a Winchester 1873 half magazine rifle.Question for you lever action experts: What type of rifle is this that Paul Newman is using in the movie "Hombre"?
Thank you, and that is certainly what it appears to be. Much appreciated.It looks like a Winchester 1873 half magazine rifle.
Altitude: If John Wayne, Ward Bond, Victor McLaglen, or Jimmy Stewart is in it - I LIKE IT !! Old Westerns are outstanding: Real “stunts” by men who could really ride a horse (some outstanding horsemanship), real cattle (1000s of them), a single “plot line” that anyone could follow, No nudity (too bad on that), …. I wish I could buy some of the real guns that were used in those movies - some were later sold as movie memorabilia “collectibles”A lot of brutal honesty in that movie. Not the more typical Hollywood western.
I love corny not so honest westerns too though.
Altitude: You have John Wayne’s “Belt Buckle”!! From what movie? I think that’s Great, he was my “hero” growing up and my Uncle’s also. What did you pay for his Belt Buckle? I think that’s better than the Eye Patch —- you could wear his belt buckle. I believe one of his SA Revolvers was sold (orange tinted handles and worn in several movies including War Wagon + El Dorado)If I was getting paid for all the hours of westerns. And John Wayne movies I have watched.
I could have afforded the eye patch John Wayne wore as Roster Cogburn. I was bidding on it until it got out of hand. I do have a John Wayne belt buckle though.
Nice - one of his Best Movies, I read that he didn’t like Montgomery Clift, referred to him as “arrogant” and thought the final fight scene between the two would be “unbelievable“ because Clift was such a small skinny little guy.Red River D Belt Buckle - The History
Red River is a 1948 Western film which tells the story of the first cattle drive along the Chisholm Trail in the fictional framework of a cattle man who feuds with his surrogate son over ownership of their cattle in the middle of a drivewww.redriverdbeltbuckle.com
I do wear it. Hank it’s a replica. Not the real JW buckle

Reminds me of the Colt Walker pistol that was used in both the original True Grit and The Outlaw Josey Wales.From a quick internet sleuthing:
It’s a modified 1873 in .44-40 per Peter Sherayko's book,"Tombstone, Guns and Gear”. Also, it happens to have been used in the movie Tombstone according to the book.
A lot of brutal honesty in that movie. Not the more typical Hollywood western.
I love corny not so honest westerns too though.
