The Proposition (2005)

The Proposition is a 2005 crime drama set in late nineteenth century Australia. In an attempt to civilize the land, Captain Stanley (Ray Winstone) proposes to Charlie Burns (Guy Pearce) that if he can find and kill his brother Arthur (Danny Huston), oldest and leader of the Burns Brothers gang, in nine days, he will save his younger brother Mikey (Richard Wilson) from being hanged on Christmas Day.



The following firearms were used in the film The Proposition:


Unknown .32 top break

Charlie Burns is armed with a small top break pocket revolver. Judging by the size of the gun in Charlie's hand, it appears to be a five shot .32 caliber. In certain shots in the film, you can see the approximate size and that it has a square-back trigger guard, though it could have been manufactured by any one of a number of brands making similar guns in the late 1800's/early 1900's. The particular gun used in the film is also missing it's front sight, indicating either the part itself is missing or that the barrel was shortened.

Charlie Burns (Guy Pearce) aims his Top Break.
