The Preacher's (Clint Eastwood) hero Remington revolver, rig and spare cylinder from Eastwood's Western Pale Rider. The Preacher retrieved his weapons from a bank box and used them to protect a group of defenceless prospectors.

This Remington 1858 New Model Army revolver was one of six rented to the production by Stembridge Gun Rentals, to be used as The Preacher's primary firearm. It is made of steel with a wooden grip, and has been sympathetically deactivated. The hammer, trigger and cylinder all move. The revolver is accompanied by a leather rig, featuring a holster, spare bullets and a spare cylinder. The rig has "40" handwritten inside, with other faded handwriting. The spare cylinder is also deactivated. It should be noted that The Preacher changed out the cylinder on camera during the climactic gunfight, which is a rarity in film history.

The lot also includes two certificates of deactivation (one for the revolver, one for the spare cylinder), a photocopy of both certificates, and a copy of the original rental agreement, which shows the gun's serial number among those rented. Dimensions (revolver): 35 cm x 4 cm x 12.5 cm (13 3/4" x 1 1/2" x 5")

Firearm deactivated; see firearm deactivation notice in the Buyer's Guide.

Estimate: £30,000 - 60,000 M
