Winchester Model 1873 "Mare's Leg"

This weapon is used by Hector Escaton. It appears to be Josh Randall's "mare's laig", used by Steve McQueen in CBS's 1950s TV series Wanted: Dead or Alive.
== Background ==
It is a special, a custom weapon, based upon the Winchester Model 1873. An anachronistic weapon from a historical standpoint, it was first customised in the 1950s for use in television Westerns, and quickly became a popular custom prop, mostly for films and TV series within the Western genre.
Some of the productions that have used the original Mare's Leg or its replicas since the 1950s:
* Trackdown (TV series, 1957-1959) - used by bounty hunter Josh Randall (Steve McQueen)
