The Scout (Der Scout; full German title Der Scout - Tausend Mustangs und ein Hauptling) is a 1983 East German-Mongolian Western ("Red Western") movie directed by Konrad Petzold and Dshamjangijn Buntar and starring Gojko Mitic as White Feather, the chief of Nez Perces tribe in 1877. White Feather takes a mission to return horses of his tribe, taken away by US cavalry. In order to complete his mission he volunteered to be a scout in Col. Howard's unit. This is the last appearance of Gojko Mitic in DEFA Westerns, started in 1966 in The Sons of Great Bear (but not last his appearance in Western genre).
The following weapons were used in the film The Scout (Der Scout):
Out of time Winchester Model 1892 Saddle Ring Carbines, standing for earlier Winchester models, are seen in hands of several US cavalrymen, notably Pvts. Charles Randall (Hartmut Beer) and McGoun (Roland Seidler). White Feather (Gojko Mitic) uses McGoun's Winchester. Only a single piece is seen in a time, so probably a single prop is reused.
Cattleman Soames Parker (Helmut Schreiber) has a rifle that appears to be a Mauser Scheibenbüchsen, bolt-action target rifle based on Mauser Gewehr 1871 system.
Rifles of unclear models are seen in hands of Nez Perces warriors and US cavalrymen. They are possibly also Schuetzen rifles, but they are seen only partially or too unclear to make a strict guess.
