Accompanied by a signed & notarized letter from Mr. Selleck certifying the authenticity of this revolver. He states that this exact revolver was the one actually used early in the movie when his movie wife, played by Suzy Amis, presented it to him upon his return home after the Civil War. Mr. Selleck portrayed the character, Paul Cable; a returning Confederate veteran whose family had thought him killed in action. His wife was portrayed as the daughter of a gunsmith and had learned the engraving trade and applied it to one of the “new” conversion revolvers as a gift to her husband. Mr. Selleck states that he actually had three of these revolvers made for the movie. This one to be in new condition early in the movie for the presentation, another showing some wear after he had carried it for some time & the third as a spare. Mr. Selleck has kept the “used” model and the back-up new revolver was donated to the National Cowboy Hall of Fame & Western Museum where it is currently on display. We have the “new” one here as presented to “Cable” that was used in the movie and is the revolver presented to Cable by his wife upon his return from the war. Also accompanying is an unopened VHS tape of this movie, which cover depicts Mr. Selleck holding this actual revolver. Also accompanying is an 8×10 color photograph of Mr. Selleck in his character as Paul Cable holding a Henry rifle and wearing this actual revolver. Also accompanied by the book, Metallic Cartridge Conversions, The History of The Guns and Modern Reproductions, Adler. Mr. Selleck wrote the 2-page introduction and there is a full color photograph of him from his movie, Crossfire Trail. Mr. Adler is pictured on p. 11 wearing one of the three revolvers Tom had made for Last Stand at Saber River. Page 157 & 163 of this book tell the story of the making of these three revolvers by well-known gunsmith & reproduction artist, Kenny Howell. Mr. Howell not only made all three revolvers, he also made & hand carved the ivory grips. One of the revolvers is also pictured on p. 163.

Appears to be unfired retaining virtually all of its beautiful custom finish with some very slight holster scuffing on the left side of the muzzle & a small spot on the left side of the bbl. Frame, hammer & conversion ring case colors are strong but slightly dark. Back strap has a slight purple overtone. Grips are outstanding with a light mellow patina and fit perfectly. Mechanics are crisp, brilliant shiny bore. 4-55124 JR483 (15,000-25,000)
