Mackenna's Gold is a 1969 Western movie directed by J. Lee Thompson and adapted from the 1963 novel by Heck Allen. The film stars Gregory Peck as Marshal MacKenna, Omar Sharif as Mexican outlaw John Colorado and Telly Savalas as US Cavalry Sergeant Tibbs. The plot revolves around the gold, hidden in on Apaches territory. MacKenna takes a treasure map from dying shaman Prairie Dog (Eduardo Ciannelli) who was already stalked by Colorado's gang. As events unfold, more and more people become involved in the treasure hunt, including Inga Bergmann (Camilla Sparv), kidnapped by Colorado, and treacherous Sgt. Tibbs.
The following weapons were used in the film Mackenna's Gold:
During the encouter with Prairie Dog, MacKenna's revolver switches from "Civilian" to "Artillery" model due to a continuity error. "Artillery" model revolvers are also seen in hands of two men of Ben Baker's motley crew.
Single Action Army (Mocked Up as Remington 1858 New Army)
Sergeant Tibbs' (Telly Savalas) revolver is a Single Action Army "Cavalry" model, visually modified to resembled the Remington 1858 New Army, with fake Remington's cylinder rod. Same looking revolver is also used by the Lieutenant (Duke Hobbie) in charge of the cavalry unit. Similar mockups were often used in Western movies.
Henry 1860 rifles, seen in the movie, actually are visually modified Winchester Model 1892, with removed handguards. Such rifle is seen in Judge Bergerman's (Trevor Bardette) house, and later it is used by Hachita (Ted Cassidy) who personally killed the Judge. Sergeant Tibbs (Telly Savalas) and his cavalrymen also use such rifles.
