Pietta pays tribute to the original Great Western guns used by John Wayne in his last motion picture The Shootist. Several years before he was cast as John Bernard Books in the The Shootist Great Western Arms Company presented John Wayne with the guns. The Duke decided these exquisite revolvers suited his character a professional gunfighter dying of cancer. With the beautiful laser-engraved all-blued barrel and cylinder the one-piece ultra ivory grips offer a contrast accentuating the engraving even more. Just as aged ivory changes color over time the white grips on the GWII The Shootist vary in coloration from a stark white to an off white. - 45LC Mag Caliber 4.75 Barrel All Blue Enhanced Laser-Engraved Ultra Ivory Grips
