The 2 engraved Great Westerns, belonging to the late John Wayne, seen in "The Shootist"

http://www.shootmagazine.com/articles/firearms/great_western.htm According to John Taffin, the revolver that is thrown through the Saloon by Ron Howard, is not one of the Great Westerns, but a movie prop, made using a Ruger Blackhawk, modified to look like a SAA.
