Patton: Difference between revisions
True to his real life counterpart, Gen. George S. Patton ([[George C. Scott]]) carries two ivory-gripped [[Single Action Army]] revolvers in a holster (alternatively carrying only one in most scenes), with his initials "GSP" engraved on the grip. When a reporter asks him about his "pearl-handled revolvers", Patton quickly retorts "They're ivory. Only a pimp from a cheap New Orleans whorehouse would carry a pearl-handled pistol."

When a reporter asks him about his "pearl-handled revolvers", Patton quickly retorts "They're ivory. Only a pimp from a cheap New Orleans whorehouse would carry a pearl-handled pistol."
Some of the Morrocan troops that line up for Patton carry MAT-49 submachine guns. These are anachronistic for the scene, which takes place in 1943, as they weren't developed until a few years later.
Patton also carries a Colt Model 1903 Hammerless as a personal sidearm (kept either in his waistband or a shoulder holster), most notably using it to shoot at a German plane that fires at his headquarters in North Africa. Major General Walter Bedell Smith (Ed Binns) also carries a Colt Model '03 in a shoulder holster.
