PATTON PISTOLS

GEN George S. Patton pistols and holster.




Above: GEN George S. Patton pistols.


Above: The lower pistol is the authentic Patton SAA. The upper pistol is a prop used in the movie “Patton” and carried by George C. Scott. The grips on the prop gun are painted wood with crude initials carved in. One can only wonder what other actors carried this gun in other films.




Above: The lower pistol is the authentic Patton S&W .357.




In this side by side comparison the authentic Patton weapons are on the left.
