Movie Lightning?

[Leadeye]

Picked up this broken Lightning from 1909 which I'll add to the others, mostly for the Stembridge "S" stamp.The big three gun renters, Western Costume, Ellis Mercantile, and Stembridge all rented guns for movies over many years and have sold off most of their stock. Today a movie set uses mostly molded plastic guns except for close ups. Checking the internet I see some instances where Lightnings were used, but I've found over doing this a few years the IMFDB isn't very complete.

Can only imagine who's handled that gun in front of a camera...

It has a tired hair pin spring which I can still replace, should be back to shooting again after that. Other than that it's in good shape.

KJQ said it's like the Children's Museum only you can play with the exhibits.

He is usually correct.
