Hello, ZVP. If you can find the 1940 movie, ARIZONA..starring Jean Arther, & William Holden..you are in for a treat. Takes place in Arizona territory 1860.
Bad guys want to take over stage line run by woman, of course they are Confederate sympathizers. Best part is gift of Henry rifle to hero, ...and by the way..this is a REAL Henry..not the old Hollywood dodge of removing forend from a Win. 92". the scene in the saloon where bad guy is getting ready for gun fight..He is sitting at table, with a percussion revolver. Wooden case with all tools and flask & bullets in front of him. You can actually see his arm jerk as the ball is seated in cylinder..either they were using some kind of wad over powder..or this fellow knew his way around a percussion sixgun to make it look authentic! Good stuff!
