For bonus points that are absolutely worthless and non redeemable, what is the first revolver Tuco picks up?

Sorry, it only took 10 seconds or less for me to remember how lousy this movie was.

  Weelll...for me, it's been and always will be one of my alltime favorites, I don't care what discriminating minds might say.   :)  Innacuracies be damned!

ding ding ding!!  we have a winner of ten thousand absolutely worthless bonus points!

 I still have yet to see a Galand in person. Whenever we go on vacation I try to find any and all museums with an arms collection, disply to look at. The first time I went to Reno the Harrah's collection (or parts) were still displayed in the casino. The Carson City ,Nev. Mint Building has a good collection and the first genuine Hawken gun I've ever seen. Even Knott's Berry Farm had an impressive display 15 or so years ago. There are many museums that I have yet to visit of course.

Locally, Columbia Gorge Interpretive Center, in Stevenson,WA has a Mississippi in .54 and a Ballard that IIRC is in .40 caliber. Fort Vancouver has an authentic trade musket that is smooth bore (caliber unknown) and a pistol that IIRC about .45. Both have very unique and interesting artifacts. 

From what I have learned so far is that of the modern muskets, both the missisippi and the 1855 1st model has a prominent place in Washington military history. I am sure there are a few more yet to be discovered by myself as amateur research continues.

Yeah. Some pretty ratty ones, too.
