Based on the size, this is likely a 54-bore (.442 caliber) model.  In the film, this revolver is scratch made by a gunsmith named Bailey ([[Christopher Lee]]). Note that this particular Tranter has a double trigger self-cocking mechanism in which one trigger rotates the cylinder and cocks it while the other trigger actually fires it; the movie trope concerning such a talented gunsmith in Mexico is quite factual as it appears that certain Mexican gunsmiths may be responsible for the mysterious "long cylinder" conversions of 1860 Colt revolvers (these conversions are definitely not factory, and they display incredible craftsmanship).

Handguns

Tranter Revolver

Hannie Caulder (Raquel Welch) carries an English Tranter self-cocking revolver. Based on the size, this is likely a 54-bore (.442 caliber) model. In the film, this revolver is scratch made by a gunsmith named Bailey (Christopher Lee). Note that this particular Tranter has a double trigger self-cocking mechanism in which one trigger rotates the cylinder and cocks it while the other trigger actually fires it; the movie trope concerning such a talented gunsmith in Mexico is quite factual as it appears that certain Mexican gunsmiths may be responsible for the mysterious "long cylinder" conversions of 1860 Colt revolvers (these conversions are definitely not factory, and they display incredible craftsmanship).
