			From a friend of a friend:

			"As for the shotgun, in my research I found that Australia was importing these Spanish made shotguns during the '70s and early '80s. The distinctive feature is the thin white ring that is in the bottom of the handle. This is standard to the ZH (Zabala Hermanos) Bentley 10 series. That and the area where the metal receiver meets the wooden stock. This area is unique this this shotgun."

	::That is a weird specimen. It appears to have the Baughman front ramp sight and the ejector rod lug. I have to say that it is definitely a S&W N frame and the cylinder looks like it's a 44 caliber cylinder. Also the barrel appears not to have the distinctive taper shape that you see with the 38/357 N frames or the 44 special N frames. Plus the bore looks to be larger than the 38/357.		::That is a weird specimen. It appears to have the Baughman front ramp sight and the ejector rod lug.

Even before the gun grabbing craze of the mid-90's I understand that it was always difficult and expensive for Australian gun-owners to get hold of new U.S. made handguns (Australians please weigh in here) so they've become very adept at adapting what they have to meet their needs. Whereas American gunowners might go to a custom shop or just buy another model that meets some required or percieved need.Perhaps we're looking at one of those type of revolvers and it found it's way into the movie.
