Red Mountain is a 1951 Western film directed by William Dieterle and John Farrow and starring Alan Ladd as Confederate officer Brett Sherwood. In 1865 Brett Sherwood heads to Colorado to join General Quantrill's guerrilla. He saves Lane Waldron (Arthur Kennedy) who was unjustly sentenced to death by the Lynch court for the killing of a gold assayer.
The following weapons were used in the film Red Mountain:
Note: see additional screenshows and promotional images on talk page.
Single Action Army
Single Action Army revolvers, also not corresponding to that time, are briefly seen in several scenes. Marshal Roberts (Francis McDonald) carries a Cavalry model revolver (in earlier scene he had a Colt 1851 Navy). Posse members have Cavalry, Artillery and Civilian revolvers (no good screenshot with a Civilian revolver can be taken).
Single Action Army (Mocked Up as Remington 1858 New Army)
Genuine Remington 1858 New Army revolvers are also seen, hold by Lane Waldron (Arthur Kennedy), Chris (Lizabeth Scott), Gen. William Quantrill (John Ireland) (in most scenes he carries a Colt 1851 Navy revolver), and Sgt. Skee (Jeff Corey) and Sgt. Randall (Bert Freed) of Quantrill's unit. In firing scenes genuine Remingtons are replaced with visually modified SAA revolvers (see above).
Remington 1858 Pocket
Chris (Lizabeth Scott) carries a Remington 1858 Pocket in several scenes. Her revolver lacks the trigger guard and seems to be a cartridge conversion version rather than original cap and ball gun.
Unidentified pocket revolvers
When Chris (Lizabeth Scott) is initially seen with a revolver, she holds not an abovementioned Remington 1858 Pocket but a different pocket revolver with open-top frame.
Sgt. Randall (Bert Freed) takes a nickel plated spur-trigger pocket revolver from Dr. Terry's saddle bag.
Note: see additional screenshows and promotional images on talk page.
Springfield Model 1873 Rifle
In one scene Brett Sherwood examines a Springfield Model 1873 rifle, captured by Quantrill's men from Union troops. Quantrill calls this gun "brand new Springfield rifle" (excessively new for 1865, so to say).
Winchester Model 1892 Carbine
Winchester Model 1892 carbines are briefly seen in several scenes, including the final battle.
