Dawg Hair, SASS #29557 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I wonder how much they went for in the December 2014 auction. They look like something Jules Verne could have used in any of his futuristic novels. Ian McCollum really comes up with some cool stuff. I watch him on utube all the time.

Trailrider #896 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Talk about weird guns... I have a "movie prop gun" LeMat. It is apparently made of pot metal, and the cylinder revolves when you cock the hammer! The chambers are only .340" in diameter, and while there are ersatz nipples, and they appear to have flash holes, they are blind, and there is no communication between them and the chambers! The chambers themselves are blind beyond the rear end. (Depth is 1.070" deep!) If they used blanks, I can't see how they would have been fired! Otherwise, the "gun" is quite heavy, about 54 oz. by actual weight! The trigger works, releasing the hammer, and the rammer works just like a real one would, except the end of the rammer is correct for the chamber mouths! While I don't have a real/replica LeMat to compare it with, I would guess it is pretty close in size; enough so I could probably make a holster for it using this one as a pattern. (NO guarantees, however.) Definitely a curiosity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
