Sometimes the action is so quick in a movie one can't tell what kind of gun is being used. In Raiders of the Lost Ark I always wonder whether it was a Colt New Service or Smith & Wesson 44 Handejector (mdl 1917) that Harrison ford was using. Well the mystery has been cleared up it was the Smith.

Also in Star Wars, looking at the Hand Blasters, they looked suspiciously like Mauser Mdl 1896 Broomhandles and sure enough thats what they were modified Broomhandles.

So the auction cleared a few things up. Also was watching a bunch of John Wayne cowboy pics made at RKO. Some of the guns in the auction were used in those movies.
