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:
Revolvers
Capt. Brett Sherwood (Alan Ladd) carries a nickel plated Colt 1851 Navy with a cartridge conversion (such version doesn't fit for 1865 but decently substitutes original Colt 1851 Navy). Lane Waldron (Arthur Kennedy) holds Brett's Colt in several scenes.
Note: see additional screenshows and promotional images on talk page.
Colt 1851 Navy revolvers with Richards-Mason Conversion are used by the gold assayer Jim Braden (Dan White), Marshal Roberts (Francis McDonald), and Gen. William Quantrill (John Ireland) (in reality Quantrill never had General rank). A single prop is reused in all cases; this revolver has shortened faceted barrel.
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)
Lane Waldron (Arthur Kennedy) and Chris (Lizabeth Scott) use Single Action Army revolvers, visually modified to resembled the Remington 1858 New Army, with fake Remington's cylinder rod. Similar mockups were often used in Western movies.
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.
Rifles
Maynard Single Shot Percussion Carbine
Brett Sherwood (Alan Ladd) carries a Maynard Single Shot Percussion Carbine. Due to continuity errors, this rifle several times switches to a Springfield Model 1873 Cavalry Carbine and back again.
Springfield Model 1873 Cavalry Carbine
Brett Sherwood's (Alan Ladd) Maynard carbine several times switches to a Springfield Model 1873 Cavalry Carbine. Trapdoor carbines are also used by Lane Waldron (Arthur Kennedy), Chris (Lizabeth Scott), one of Quantrill's officers Lt. Morgan (Carleton Young) and Ute tribe warriors, including their warchief Little Crow (Jay Silverheels).
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.
