Fatal Error (Tödlicher Irrtum) is a 1970 East German Western ("Red Western") movie directed by Konrad Petzold. In late 19th century in Wyoming an oil company pumps oil on the territory of Shoshone tribe. A chain of murders of Shoshone chiefs with shares in the oil business follows. The young chief Shave Head (Gojko Mitic) and his half-blooded brother Chris Howard (Armin Mueller-Stahl) who is local deputy sheriff start investigation.
The following weapons were used in the film Fatal Error (Tödlicher Irrtum):
Revolvers
Single Action Army
Single Action Army revolvers are widely seen in the movie, used by deputy sheriff Chris Howard (Armin Mueller-Stahl), Allison's henchmen Parker (Hartmut Beer) and Kid Kearny (Rolf Ludwig) and townsman Ben (Gerry Wolff). Revolvers have different barrel length but not all of them closely match original Civilian, Artillery and Cavalry models. All SAA revolvers, seen close enough, seem to lack spring-loaded ejector rods, and rod housings are empty.
Note: see additional images on talk page.
One of Parker's (Hartmut Beer) revolvers appear to be a cartridge version of Colt 1851 Navy with brass frame and barrel and white cylinder. Same looking revolver is also seen in hands of Lee Garret's assistant. Such props are seen in many DEFA Western movies.
Reichsrevolver M1879
Out of place (but widely available for filming) Reichsrevolver M1879 revolvers are seen in hands of Chris Howard (Armin Mueller-Stahl), corrupt town Sheriff Hank Jackson (Bruno O'Ya), Indian agent McLaurin (Bruno Carstens), Allison's henchmen Kid Kearny (Rolf Ludwig) and Ten Eyck (Stefan Lisewski), and Lee Garrett's girlfriend Caroline (Annekathrin Bürger).
Note: see additional images on talk page.
Rifles
Winchester Model 1892 Carbine
Winchester Model 1892 Carbines are used by both main characters - Shave Head (Gojko Mitic) and Chris Howard (Armin Mueller-Stahl), and also by Parker (Hartmut Beer) and several other Allison's henchmen, engineer Lee Garrett (Hannjo Hasse) and Shoshone chief Black Tomahawk (Slobodan Velimirovic). Chris Howard's Winchester has buttstock of black wood with inlay; it is fitted with a sling swivel on the underbarrel magazine, so this carbine is not a Saddle Ring version. Lee Garrett's Winchester looks alike Howard's one, only the buttstock is not black but reddish. Shave Head uses likely same Winchester that is seen in hands of Gojko Mitic's characters in other DEFA Westerns; its distinctive feature is a sling swivel without ring.
Note: see additional images on talk page.
Winchester Model 1873 Carbine
Several Winchester Model 1873 carbines are seen in Sheriff Jackson's office. Shoshone warriors also use Winchester 73s. Old Ben (Gerry Wolff) disarms one of Allison's men of a Winchester 73 during the shootout.
Martini Action Schuetzen Rifle
Some Shoshone warriors and Lee Garrett's workers are armed with single shot Martini action Schuetzen rifles, popular German target and hunting guns.
Kessler Schuetzen Rifle
At least one Kessler Schuetzen rifle (an improved version of Martini system) is seen.
