The following weapons were used in the television series Wild Boys:
Wild Boys was a short-lived Australian series about bushranging in colonial Australia. It was cancelled for good reason, but the armoury of the show is quite respectable.
Pistols
Colt 1860 Army
Whitney Revolver
The Whitney makes an appearance first as Hogan's revolver. During a police ambush he drops it and it falls into posession of the superintendent Francis. The Whitney would easilly be mistaken for a Remington at a distance. Note the smaller overall size and "Colt-style" ball-rammer. The Whitney revolver was issued to the South Australia police for a period. The one used in the series is probably an original.
Tranter third model
Superintendent Francis uses a Tranter third model with a double trigger.
Jack pulls a navy Colt from the holster next to the driver's seat on the armoured police transport. The brass-coloured frame is probably not correct as the police in colonial Australia would most likely be using Colts made in London, which were all-steel framed.
Remington 1858
"Captain" gives the trio a Remington among some other firearms when they visit his hut.
