Justin LaMotte ([[David Carradine]]) holds a Colt Navy in one scene. At least one of the screen guns has slots for percussion caps on the cylinder, so it is a genuine cap and ball revolver; some revolvers appear to be anachronistic cartridge versions. | ||

North and South: Book I (or just North and South) is a 1985 6-part miniseries, the first part of a trilogy adapted from trilogy of novels North and South by John Jakes. It depicts the story of two large families: Mains, planters from South Carolina, and Hazards, industrialists from Pennsylvania, before the Civil War (second part of the trilogy is set during the war, and the third - after). Main characters are Orry Main (Patrick Swayze) and George Hazard (James Read) who became friends while attending the United States Military Academy at West Point.
The following weapons were used in the miniseries North and South: Book I:
Revolvers
Colt Paterson 1836
During the Battle of Churubusco on August 20th, 1847, Lt. Orry Main (Patrick Swayze) carries a Colt Paterson 1836 revolver that he took from the holster of a dead Texas volunteer.
Colt Dragoon (Cartridge version)
During the Battle of Churubusco, Lts. Orry Main (Patrick Swayze) and George Hazard (James Read) carry Colt Dragoon revolvers (in reality, the Dragoon began production only a year later). When Main's revolver runs dry, he takes a Colt Paterson (see above) from a dead Texas volunteer. The cylinders of screen guns lack slots for percussion caps, so the Dragoons appear to be even more anachronistic cartridge versions.
Colt Walker (Cartridge version)
During the aforementioned battle, a Colt Walker is seen in hands of Capt. Elkanah Bent (Philip Casnoff), Main's and Hazard's enemy in West Point and currently their superior. The cylinder lacks slots for percussion caps, so the Walker appears to be an anachronistic cartridge version.
George's younger brother, Lt. Billy Hazard (John Stockwell), and Forbes LaMotte (William Ostrander) use Colt 1851 Navy revolvers in their duel. Garrison Grady (Georg Stanford Brown) carries a Colt Navy when he joins abolitionist leader John Brown in the famous raid on Harper's Ferry, Virginia, in October 1859. Justin LaMotte (David Carradine) holds a Colt Navy in one scene. At least one of the screen guns has slots for percussion caps on the cylinder, so it is a genuine cap and ball revolver; some revolvers appear to be anachronistic cartridge versions.
Note: see additional images on the talk page.
In the scene in Camp Cooper, Texas when a group of officers leave for the North after the secession of the Southern states, a cavalry officer holds a revolver that looks similar to cartridge converted Colt Navy (the loading gate can be seen) but has a fluted cylinder and round barrel, uncommon for genuine Colts. Most likely, this is some modern replica of the Colt.
Remington 1858 New Army
Billy Hazard (John Stockwell) is seen with a Remington 1858 New Army revolver when he defends his beloved Brett Main (Genie Francis). Forbes LaMotte (William Ostrander) grabs Billy Hazard's revolver when the rigged duel between them turns into a full-fledged fight.
Allen & Thurber Pepperbox
Alice Peet (Terri Gardner), a hooker with whom Elkanah Bent was caught in West Point, holds an Allen & Thurber Pepperbox on the enraged Bent.
Pistols
Pinfire Double Barreled Pistol
Orry Main (Patrick Swayze) draws a Pinfire Double Barreled Pistol when he encounters fugitive slave Priam. When Orry goes to meet George Hazard, he also has a pinfire double barreled pistol, but this is another model with a differently placed lever.
Percussion Dueling Pistol
Charles Main (Lewis Smith) and Whitney Smith (William Arvay) use Percussion Dueling Pistols during their duel.
Note: see additional images on the talk page.
Percussion Cap Pistol
Two Percussion Cap Pistols are seen in the scene when Charles Main (Lewis Smith) trains in shooting before his duel with Whitney Smith (William Arvay).
Rifles
Sharps 1863 Carbine
Sharps carbines, most likely Sharps 1863 Carbines, are widely used during the events of John Brown's raid on Harper's Ferry. This is in nearly full accordance with the real events: Brown's men were armed with .52 caliber Sharps carbines, nicknamed "Beecher's Bibles", but of course, these guns were not 1863 models, but 1851 and 1853 models. Sharps carbines are also seen in the scene in Camp Cooper.
Note: see additional images on talk page.
M1841 Mississippi Musket
M1841 Mississippi Muskets are seen in hands of cadets of the United States Military Academy at West Point, including Orry Main (Patrick Swayze), George Hazard (James Read), and George McClellan (Chris Douridas) in the 1840s, and Billy Hazard (John Stockwell) and Charles Main (Lewis Smith) in the 1850s. M1841 muskets are also used by US Army soldiers and Mexican soldiers during the Battle of Churubusco and by Virginian militia during the events in Harper's Ferry.
Note: see additional images on the talk page.
Springfield 1861
A Springfield 1861 rifled musket is seen in hands of a Union soldier.
Percussion Cap Muskets
Various percussion cap muskets are seen during the events in Harper's Ferry and the Battle of Fort Sumter. Nearly all scenes are set in darkness so positive identification is impossible. Springfield Model 1842 and Springfield Models 1855 or 1861 muskets are possible guesses.
Flintlock Muskets
During the Mexican-American War, both sides use various unknown Flintlock Muskets. Flintlock guns, together with percussion cap ones, are also seen in hands of Virginian militia.
Shotguns
Double Barreled Percussion Shotgun
In the scene in Stag Tavern when Charles Main gets into a fight with Salem Jones, bar owner Burnes (Ronnie Stutes) draws a Percussion Shotgun, stopping the fight and driving away Jones and his cronies.
Double Barreled Shotgun
Double Barreled Shotguns are seen in hands of Charles Main (Lewis Smith) when he meets Justin LaMotte (David Carradine) and his men at the entrance of the Main estate, and in the hands of George Hazard (James Read) and Orry Main (Patrick Swayze) when they face off against the lynch mob.
Trivia
Field Cannons
Numerous artillery pieces are seen during the Mexican-American War, at West Point Academy, and in Fort Sumter.
