Finally completed a “Guns of Indiana Jones” collection for my husband 
It has been SO hard to keep this a secret! Since I cant tell him yet (these will be his christmas presents) thought you guys might get a kick out of seeing them
Top to bottom:
Colt Official Police .38. The Gun Indy uses, and Willie loses, in the car chase after escaping Club Obiwan in Temple of Doom. This one is dated to 1933 and stamped “DBN PD 141”. A fun detail
Smith & Wesson M1917 (DA 45 or Hand Ejector MkII) .45 APC. The gun Indy hands over to Belloq in the opening scene, but shows up again when he’s packing for his trip to Egypt. This one was originally made in 1919 and has the cut down barrel and reinstalled front sight. In the scenes filmed abroad, Indy uses the British version of the S&W with a different front sight but as thats the only difference i’ve skipped that one.
FN Hi-Power 9mm that Indy uses, then loses again in the Ravenwood Bar shootout. This is a newer production gun with an original 1935 ring hammer installed. Many Hi-Powers manufactured by FN around that time were supposedly sabotaged by the employees under Nazi occupation. Since the FN Hi-Power had only just begun production in 1935 when Raiders takes place, Indy’s Hi-Power would have been a very new gun so i opted for a new production with all the right 1935 external parts. Later in the movie when hiding on the cargo ship escaping Egypt, he uses a different Hi-Power made by Inglis in Canada but those guns werent made until nearly a decade after the setting of the movie so i’ve skipped that one too.
Webley & Scott Government model of 1898 chambered in .455 Webley Mk I. This one Indy uses throughout Last Crusade and it makes a brief appearance in The Kingdom of The Crystal Skull too. This was the hardest one to find. There are a few out there but most have been modified to fire old low-power .45 APC bullets.
All of these are fully functional gunsmith inspected real firearms. I cant wait to see hubby’s face on christmas morning!!
