The Ruffian (Le Ruffian) is a 1983 French-Canadian adventure movie directed by José Giovanni and starring Lino Ventura as Aldo Sévenac, a French Canadian, who works on a gold mine in Rocky Mountains. One day a gang attacks the mine, planning to loot the gold. After a shootout all robbers are dead, and only three miners survive: Aldo and a pair of Indians (actors James Ernest Davis and Danyl Wahayenni-Martin). The three take the gold but Aldo manages to cheat the Indians and escape. When he crosses a river, his boat falls into waterfall, and while Aldo survives, crates with gold nuggets sink. Now Aldo returns to Canada and gathers a team of his old friends to salvage the treasure.
The following weapons were used in the film The Ruffian:
A security guard on the gold mine carries a Colt Python. During the heist Aldo (Lino Ventura) takes the revolver from the holster of the dead guard and uses it. The younger Indians also uses a Python in the same scene. When the Indians find Aldo in Canada, the elder of two carries a Python.
A police officer carries a revolver in holster. It has gold medallions in S&W style on the grips, so it's possibly a Smith & Wesson Model 10, but no strict identification is possible.
What appears to be a Remington 870 Police Magnum is seen in hands of a guard at the entrance of the gold mine. During the heist his shotgun is used by the elder Indian.
The abovementioned robber has his shotgun switched to Winchester Model 1912 due to a continuity error. In another scene a police officer holds a shotgun that also appears to be a Winchester M1912.
