James Stewart … My Top Ten Western Stars … Pt. 2

Whether we like it or not, Weapons have played a monumental role
in World History. Still do. And we see no end in sight.
This should make us all wonder …
And somewhere among this uncountable tally,
are the weapons and guns of the American West.

The Winchester ’73

This is not to celebrate Weapon technology,
yet such has always been at the forefront of human endeavour.

IMFDB “Internet Movie Firearms Database” – a website I often refer to
for research here does offer quite a bit on “Winchester ’73”.
