Saskatchewan is a 1954 adventure movie directed by Raoul Walsh and based on an original story by Gil Doud. The film stars Alan Ladd and Shelley Winters. The story is set in 1877 in northern Canada. North-West Mounted Police Inspector Thomas O'Rourke (Alan Ladd) and his Cree sworn brother Cajou (Jay Silverheels) encounter remains of wagon train, massacred and burned by some native tribe; Grace Markey (Shelley Winters) is a sole survivor. Incompetent Superintendent Benton (Robert Douglas) believes that attackers were Cree and orders to disarm the tribe. O'Rourke has to find the truth not only about the attack but also about the shady past of Grace with whom he falls in love.


The following weapons were used in the film Saskatchewan:


Revolvers

Single Action Army

Single Action Army Cavalry Model revolvers are used by Inspector Thomas O'Rourke (Alan Ladd), Grace Markey (Shelley Winters), Superintendent Benton (Robert Douglas), and Chief Superintendent Banks (Lowell Gilmore). Carl Smith (Hugh O'Brian), a lawman from Montana, carries an Artillery Model revolver. Local hunter and guide Batouche (J. Carrol Naish) and NWMP Constable Brill (Bob Herron) and Sergeant Lawson (George J. Lewis) carry SAA revolvers of unclear model in holsters.
