M1911

One of the treasure hunters carries a nickel plated M1911 with pearl grips. As the guns of other members of the gang are known (Sturdivant carries a Smith & Wesson, Jerry-Gardener has a pair of SAA revolvers, and Adolph (John Dennis) has a blued M1911A1 (see below)), this pistol most likely belongs to the fourth member of the gang, Henry-Gardener (Bob Hoy).
