I was watching an old Bonanza episode from the mid sixties last week (when there were not a whole lot of replica BP revolvers being sold) and in one of the opening scenes little Joe was sitting on a wagon in front of the house fanning what looked to me like an 1851. From the smoke he produced I have to assume it was not a conversion either. I thought to myself at the time, I had never seen a BP revolver fanned.
