Is there any particular reason it's called a 'Lewis and Clark' pistol? Lewis and Clark didn't use any special pistols, just ordinary horse pistols, and if the pistol used in the movie is just a generic horse pistol, so why is it called a 'Lewis and Clark pistol'? - Maxman 19:26 September 10, 2012 (EST)

Googling it comes up with lots of replicas that apparently get the name as being typical of what they would have used. Regardless of whether this is an actual accepted term doesn't really matter, as what is consistently pictured as the 'Lewis and Clark pistol' appears to be a Pistolet modèle An IX whilst the gun in this looks more like a Pistolet modèle An XIII with a shorter barrel. --commando552 (talk) 20:29, 10 September 2012 (EDT)
So, should it be changed? I mean, if 'Lewis and Clark pistol' isn't an actual definition or description, and the pistol used in the movie is an identifiable model, wouldn't it make sense? --Maxman (Talk) 00:20 11 September 2012 (EST)
I've changed it. Not sure my ID is correct, but looked into it and the pistol that would have been carried by Lewis & Clarke would have probably been a Model 1799 which looks nothing like this. --commando552 (talk) 05:13, 11 September 2012 (EDT)

Charlevilles

I don't think either of the rifles currently ID'd as such are actually Charlevilles. The one with the scope looks more like a Brown Bess to me, as there are no barrel bands. Barrel looks like it might be too short though, however it is hard to tell at that angle. The second one is way too short, and again has no barrel bands. To me it looks like this one also has proper sights. My guess is that it is a short rifle, like a Pennsylvania Scout or something like that:

Pennsylvania Scout Rifle, Pedersoli reproduction - .32 caliber
