10 Min Left.....Great Western 22 Single Action
I thought about keeping this one.....the action on these Great Western revolvers is like a single action Python.

I have 3 Great western single action army revolver clones - a John Wayne involved company...
An early .45 long colt with the copper and beryllium alloy used
I have a .357 atomic and a .401 herters power may
All 3 digit serial number early production variants
All 3 with pointer pup grips
Prices have skyrocketed in the last 12 years
Super high quality firearms - I never encountered a .22 rimfire model
All of mine look like yours as far as finish and configuration

Very cool!
I was playing around with this one when I bought it and it sat on my desk for about a week because I thought I'd just tuck it in the safe and not sell it.....but then Larry saw a CZ52 that I ended up with and wanted to keep it because it was in fantastic shape and we have some ammo for it. So, he put that one in his safe and I took pictures of the Great Western. When Barry got his hands on it and was actually typing up the description he decided he wanted to shoot it, but he never got around to it. So far everyone that has touched this gun has wanted to keep it.
One day I'm going to get to keep some of the ones that catch my eye. Right now I'm thinking about that chimney repair and chipmunk extermination costs.0 -

Good old guns,,had one just like that in 22 ATOMIC! Another I wish I had back.[B)] 0 -
I've got one of the early .45 Colts, with 2nd gen Colt parts in it. Interesting history behind GW. Side note, Marshal Dillon uses one in "Gunsmoke", and John Wayne had Jim Marten in AZ make a couple up to look like his ivory grip Colts for "The Shootist".
The one Kasey has listed is built on a full size SAA frame, and if I'm not mistaken, was made just before GW was bought up by Hawes. Hard to find anymore.0
