The following weapons were used in the film Journey Southwest (Cesta na jihozápad):
"Grandfather" Jones (Milan Sandhaus) carries a Colt Dragoon revolver. The gun has a finger spur on trigger guard that is uncommon for genuine Colts; possibly this is a sign of European copy. Also the revolver has a rear sight that was used on carbine version (with detachable shoulder stocks) of Dragoon.
Bill (Oldrich Vlach), one of the trio of bandits, carries a Single Action Army "Civilian" model revolver. Hexagonal barrel and smooth base pin, both uncommon for original Colts, are likely signs of European copy.
Smith & Wesson Military & Police (Spanish version)
Noble gunslinger Chett (Jirí Schmitzer) carries a revolver in Smith & Wesson Military & Police style. Such details as the shape of lanyard ring and its swivel allows to guess the gun to be a Spanish copy, like Trocaola Aranzabal Y Cia or Orbea.
Bill uses a Winchester Model 1895 Sporter. A closeup of the receiver allows to see the marks of removed loading bridge, a sign of Russian contract version.
