Error creating thumbnail: File missing Patton (1970).
The following firearms were used in the film Patton :
Single Action Army
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."
