Colt 1851 Navy Cartridge

One of the bandits, attacking Liebenthal, is armed with a Colt 1851 Navy revolver. It appears to be a cartridge versions, often seen in DEFA Western movies. The lack of the pin that fixes the barrel with the frame on original Colt 1851 allows to guess that this screen gun is a replica, originally made for metallic cartridges, likely of European production.

For comparison: Colt 1851 Navy with a cartridge conversion. This is a reproduction of the gun used by Eli Wallach in The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly and imported by Cimmaron Arms.
