Kit & Co.
|
Kit & Co. is a 1974 East German adventure movie directed by Konrad Petzold and based on the short stories collection Smoke Bellew by Jack London, set during the Alaska gold fever in late 19th century.
The following weapons were used in the film Kit & Co.:
Revolvers
Colt Single Action Army Cavalry Model
One of Kit Bellew's (Dean Reed) revolvers is a Colt Single Action Army, supposedly Cavalry model. Captain Consadine (Hannjo Hasse) of Royal Canadian Mounted Police (at that time it was named Royal North-West Mounted Police) also carries a SAA Cavalry revolver.
MAS Mle 1892
Another one of Kit Bellew's revolvers is an Mle 1892 Revolver. It is seen only in holster.
Rifles and Muskets
Winchester Model 1892 Carbine
Kit Bellew (Dean Reed) and Shorty (Rolf Hoppe) both carry Winchester Model 1892 carbines. These rifles have sling swivel below the magazine and lacks saddle ring.
Martini Schuetzen Rifle (visually modified)
Several gold prospectors, notably Shunk Wilson (Gerry Wolff), carry rifles (doubtless a single prop reused) that appear to be Martini Schuetzen, fitted with a fake underbarrel tube magazine to make it look like a Winchester or Marlin rifle.
Martini-Henry Rifle
A Martini-Henry rifle is seen in hands of gold prospector. This is a full-length infantry rifle, but it differs from standard British guns of this pattern.
Mauser Schebenbüchse Rifle
A Schuetzen bolt action rifle is seen in hands of gold prospector. It appears to be a Mauser Scheibenbüchse, bolt-action target rifle based on Mauser Gewehr 1871 system.
Hunting Musket
Louis Gastell (Siegfried Kilian) owns a long barreled hunting musket of unclear model. This prop is seen in several other DEFA movies.
Various Long Guns
Shotguns
Double Barreled Shotgun
Some gold prospectors carry Double Barreled Shotguns.
Triple Barreled Shotgun/Rifle
Gold prospector Hartley (Willi Schrade) carries a Drilling, three-barreled combination shotgun/rifle with exposed hammers, against attacking bandits. This gun seems to be the same prop, used in some other DEFA movies, like Osceola and Sing, Cowboy, Sing.
