White Wolves (Weisse Wölfe) is a 1969 East German-Yugoslavian "Red Western" movie. The story loosely follows Trail of the Falcon, again starring Gojko Mitic as Farsighted Falcon.
The following weapons were used in the film White Wolves (Weisse Wölfe):
Revolvers
Cartridge versions of Colt 1851 Navy revolvers are used by Sheriff deputies Peter Hille (Fred Delmare) and Andy Sleek (Karl Zugowski), Samuel 'Sam' D. Blake (Helmut Schreiber), and numerous Bashan's henchmen. Most revolvers have brass frame and barrel and white cylinder; supposedly there are two such props, reused in many scenes. The lack of the pin that fixes the barrel with the frame on original Colt 1851 allows to guess that these screen guns are versions, originally made for metallic cartridges (rather than converted from cap and ball model), likely of European production. One more prop, with white frame and black cylinder, has said pin on place so it appears to be a genuine converted cap and ball revolver or a more faithful replica.
Note: see additional images on talk page.
One more prop of Colt 1851 Navy has its lever under the barrel removed that makes it look similar to Colt 1851 Navy (Richards-Mason Conversion). This revolver is seen in hands Peter Hille (Fred Delmare) (only in one scene) and of several bandits.
Colt Single Action Army
Cavalry Model
Single Action Army revolvers of Cavalry model often switch with Colt 1851 Navy revolvers due to continuity errors. They are seen in hands of Sheriff deputies Peter Hille (Fred Delmare) and Andy Sleek (Karl Zugowski), Sam Blake (Helmut Schreiber), the manager of the gold mine and the gang boss James Bashan (Rolf Hoppe) and many of his men. The revolvers that are seen close enough seem to lack spring-loaded ejector rods, and rod housings are empty; another feature of most of these revolvers is the lack of the cover of loading gate. At least a single of SAA revolvers lacks its front sight. These guns appear to be same props, seen in other DEFA productions.
Note: see additional images on talk page.
Artillery Model
Sheriff Pat Patterson (Holger Mahlich) carries an Artillery Model revolver in one scene (in most scenes he is armed with a Reichsrevolver M1879), see below). Some of Bashan's henchmen are also seen with SAA Artillery revolvers, probably same prop reused.
Reichsrevolver M1879
Out of place Reichsrevolver M1879 revolvers are used by Sheriff Pat Patterson (Holger Mahlich), James Bashan (Rolf Hoppe) and several of his men, and US Army officers, notably Capt. Wessels (Horst Preusker).
Note: see additional images on talk page.
Pistols
Unidentified pistols
Two muzzleloading pistols (most likely percussion cap) are seen on the wall in Capt. Wessels's house.
A pistol in center is fitted with a small buttstock.
Rifles
Winchester Model 1892 Carbine
Farsighted Falcon (Gojko Mitic) carries a Winchester Model 1892 carbine throughout the movie. His rifle lacks the saddle ring, instead fitted with a custom sling swivel below the magazine tube, but in all other features this Winchester matches Saddle Ring carbine. In one scene Farsighted Falcon's and Sheriff Pat Patterson's rifles switch to each other: Dacota chieftain holds a Winchester 1873 while Sheriff holds a Winchester 1892.
Note: see additional images on talk page.
Winchester Model 1873 Carbine
Winchester Model 1873 carbines are seen in hands of Sheriff Pat Patterson (Holger Mahlich), deputy Andy Sleek (Karl Zugowski), Indian warriors Cunning Fox (Slobodan Dimitrijevic) and Strong Left Hand (Slobodan Velimirovic), representative of the gold mining company Collins P. Harrington (Horst Schulze) and Bashan's bandits. In one scene Farsighted Falcon's and Sheriff Pat Patterson's rifles switch to each other: Dacota chieftain holds a Winchester 1873 while Sheriff holds a Winchester 1892.
Note: see additional images on talk page.
Martini Action Schuetzen Rifle
Single shot Martini Schuetzen rifles, popular German target guns, are used by US soldiers and Bashan's bandits. Catherine Emerson (Barbara Brylska) holds a Martini rifle in one scene.
Kessler Schuetzen Rifle
Kessler Schuetzen rifles (an improved version of Martini system) used by Cheyenne chieftain Little Wolf (Milivoje Popovic-Mavid) and his warriors, and Bashan's bandits. The typical feature of Kessler rifles that allows to differ this model from other similar guns is a one-piece wooden stock.
Aydt Schuetzen Rifle
Aydt system Schuetzen rifles are seen in hands of US soldiers and Cheyenne warriors.
