I just recently discovered that show but this would make a great prop if we can find an affordable source for them.
Supernatural Colt found!
- Thread starter Maelstrom
- Start date
Maybe someone will find one of those deluxe replicas and mold it? A boy can hope, right?

Yeah, that "replica" borderlines on fraud.
Has anyone found out anything on the PIETTA deluxe one? I agree with what another person said, if a good caster could get their hands on one, and wanted to lay out that kind of cash to invest in the project, do the additional engravings, I bet they could triple their money making replicas! Even kits, where you have to put it all together and paint yourself, I'd easily pay over $150 for something like that!

I'm with Cyrax. If we could do a thing where someone found the Pietta for sale, a bunch of Supernatural fiends could pitch in an buy it, get it to a caster of renown (there's no one like that named Matsuo here), get replicas made, and...let the caster keep the Pietta as payment for the modeling, and then pay for the kit/resin prop on top?
I mean, if the gun itself costs over a grand, and we could get like...twenty people to go in - we've got the Pietta cheap. Then the casting and modeling gets done, and we pay fifty or sixty bucks for the kit? And whoever did the work gets to keep or sell (through someone with a FFL, of course) the original Pietta as compensation. They win, we win...right?

Well...that's closer to $2700.00 or so, innit? Holy hell.
Still, this is not impossible...

I think the 1836 patterson 'item 150' is more like it, with the engraving done afterwards, I think the Colt used on the show was a variation of the Texas patterson with a slightly longer barrel, the one here is half the price of the deluxe model :thumbsup

I found this site.

Don't know if it would be possible to create a kit out of the separate parts or not.

I'm not sure what your little faces mean, sire - what exactly is it you take issue with here (personally, I'm annoyed that I misspelled "renown", but I'm big on spelling and punctuation)?
I don't think this is crazy, really. Maybe the cash is an issue - but the way people spend here for the things they're obssessed with...I could see a few people going in a hundred and change for an accurate model of the Colt.
Hell - I found a couple people (off the boards) who'd pay for one while just talking about it at random a couple weeks ago. Dudes were like, "Man, that'd be awesome! If that could actually happen, I'd drop like...two hundred bucks on it!"
And, come to think of it, since the gun is black powder - you wouldn't even need a FFL middleman. Then - if someone could do the engraving after the fact on the standard-issue version, the whole thing gets loads cheaper (five hundred or so instead of two grand). You could actually cast it in as many parts as you wanted, sculpt the engraving into the parts from the mold, then recast those (there'd be shrinkage, obviously - but the real gun would remain unblemished).
Perhaps you can offer a suggestion that you see as more reasonable than mine?

It's not 2 grand anyway.
Your converting £ into $. That's not how you do it. A CD in the UK is the UK is £14.99 a CD in the US is $14.99. See the correlation?
The gun, if you could find it in the US, would be closer to $1265.
Sadly, it seems like the guy in the UK is the only person that's got one. There's pretty much no way in hell it'd get through customs, even if they sold it to you (which is unlikely), so I wouldn't even worry about the currency conversion that would spawn from that.
Also, devgru6, you could not use that site to make an entire Paterson. They do not offer the main frame for sale so you'd be missing... pretty much the entire body of the pistol, and you'd still be running up a bill close to the $500 or so that a "normal" Paterson costs.
As for the engraving, if you guys can get a resin casting done, there are people around that do laser engraving on all sorts of surfaces. I'd find one of them and talk to them about it.
