Santiago is a 1956 adventure movie directed by Gordon Douglas and starring Alan Ladd as Caleb "Cash" Adams, former U.S. Army officer, dishonorably discharged from the military and turned a gun runner. In 1898, during the Cuban War of Independence, Adams attempts to take a shipment of weapons to Cuba. Here he meets an enemy from his past and his new love Isabella (Rossana Podestà).
The following weapons were used in the film Santiago:
Revolvers
Single Action Army
Caleb "Cash" Adams (Alan Ladd), his assistant, former U.S. Army Sergeant Trasker (Paul Fix), and Pike's man Jingo (Frank DeKova) use Single Action Army revolvers of "Artillery" model. Gun runner Clay Pike (Lloyd Nolan) carries a "Civilian" model revolver with deep blue finish and ivory grips.
Note: see additional screenshots and promotional images on talk page.
Colt New Service (Visually Modified)
In many scenes Cash Adams' (Alan Ladd), Trasker' (Paul Fix), and Clay Pike' (Lloyd Nolan) Single Action Army revolvers are replaced with visually modified Colt New Service revolvers. These revolvers have fake extractor rod housing installed on the right side of the barrel. Such kind of props, based on Colt New Service or Colt M1917 models, were frequently used in the 50's Western movies.
Note: see additional screenshots and promotional images on talk page.
