Red Mountain

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 movement. He saves Lane Waldron (Arthur Kennedy) who was unjustly sentenced to death by a lynch mob for the killing of a gold assayer.

= Revolvers =
== Colt 1851 Navy (Cartridge Conversion) ==
Capt. Brett Sherwood (Alan Ladd) carries a nickel plated Colt 1851 Navy with a cartridge conversion (while anachronistic for 1865, this revolver decently substitutes for an original Colt 1851 Navy). Lane Waldron (Arthur Kennedy) holds Brett's Colt in several scenes.
Note: see additional screenshots and promotional images on the talk page.
== Colt 1851 Navy (Richards-Mason Conversion) ==
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- he was a Captain). A single prop is reused in all cases; this revolver also has a shortened faceted barrel.
Note: see additional screenshots and promotional images on the talk page.
== Single Action Army ==
Single Action Army revolvers, also anachronistic, are briefly seen in several scenes. Marshal Roberts (Francis McDonald) carries a Cavalry model revolver (in an 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 resemble the Remington 1858 New Army, with a fake Remington 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 an 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 Carbine ==
Brett Sherwood (Alan Ladd) carries a Maynard Carbine. Due to continuity errors, this rifle switches to a Springfield Model 1873 Cavalry Carbine and back again several times.
== Springfield Model 1873 Cavalry Carbine ==
Brett Sherwood's (Alan Ladd) Maynard Carbine switches to an anachronistic Springfield Model 1873 Cavalry Carbine several times. 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 war chief Little Crow (Jay Silverheels).
Note: see additional screenshots and promotional images on the 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 a "brand new Springfield rifle" (excessively new for 1865, so to say). It may be intended to stand-in for the more appropriate Springfield 1861.
== Winchester Model 1892 Carbine ==
Anachronistic Winchester Model 1892 carbines are briefly seen in several scenes, including the final battle.
