Some lever gun trivia

[Gary7]

Tom Selleck has starred in two movie where the rifles he used were almost characters of the stories in and of themselves. Both were engraved with the initials of their owners. One was the Sharps in "Quigley Down Under." The other was a lever action. Name that rifle and the movie.

Unsure about rifle.

Movie was "Casablanca". Starred with Ingrid Bergman (who had a pistol).

It was an 1876 Winchester...haven't seen the movie but did read an article on it.

Yep. Movie was "Crossfire Trail." I watched it at my uncle's over Thanksgiving. Good movie.

Selleck talks about it and the rifle (and some of his other Westerns and guns) in this interview:

That's what I love about Selleck's westerns. He's a stickler for realism, and often uses period pieces that he owns, or has them built - sometimes from period pieces.

Wish I had that kind of dough!
