Ben Wade's (Russell Crowe) non-firing "Hand of God" Single Action Army .45 revolver from James Mangold's 3:10 to Yuma. Wade wielded his signature quick-draw revolver - nicknamed the Hand of God for its tendency to get all who held it (except Wade) killed - throughout the film while seeking to escape from Dan Evans' (Christian Bale) posse and avoid imprisonment at Yuma Territorial Prison.

The Hand of God was designed by legendary Hollywood armorer Thell Reed, who also served as Crowe's gun coach. Both live-firing and non-firing versions were created for production, with non-firing versions designed solely to appear holstered in Wade's custom Will Ghormley holster or held by other characters with authentic weight and heft.

This non-firing, demilled production reproduction of a .45 caliber US Arms revolver originated from Reed, who previously sent it to Crowe to practice for the role of Wade while Crowe was filming Ridley Scott's American Gangster. It is one of eight examples fitted for the production with a pair of custom ebony grips, each inlaid with an 18k gold cross. The firearm features a moveable hammer and trigger and a cut trigger guard added at Crowe's request for quicker handling. It exhibits tarnishing on the body from handling. Dimensions: 10.5" x 5.5" x 2" (26.75 cm x 14 cm x 5 cm)

Additional Provenance: Certificate of Authenticity and Letter of Authenticity from Reed.

Ownership may be restricted in some countries; see replica firearm notice in Buyer's Guide.

Estimate: $10,000 - 20,000
