Few need an introduction to Hollywood icon John Wayne. “The Duke” was one of the biggest stars of the 20th century. His American and masculine image became his trademark, as was his skill with a shooting iron. Mementos of the beloved actor are highly prized collectibles.
This revolver was wielded by John Wayne onscreen in such films as Rooster Cogburn, The Cowboys, and his Academy Award winning role in True Grit. He can even be seen wearing it and the accompanying holster rig on the January 28, 1972 cover of Life Magazine.
Time to see what this silver screen smokewagon can do at the world’s #1 auction house. “Fill your hands, you son of a bitch!”
