Peacemaker
48” x 48” Spray Paint on Deep Edged Panel with Resin
Big John relied on one type of six-gun more than any other—the classic 1873 Colt Single Action Army (SAA). Together, the Duke and his Colt Peacemaker presented an image that bespoke of the Old West.
Early on, the Duke learned how to twirl, perform a fast draw, fan and generally handle his Colt SAA with complete skill and ease. Although the actor seldom flaunted his six-gun tricks, if he felt his character would have done one, then he performed a quick twirl or a fancy flip here and there.
