The clover lighter is hand-painted with enamel on a chrome zippo. I did it myself. Those aren't my revolvers but they showed a nice visual description of the different Webley types. I have a hybrid that has a 6 inch barrel and top strap from a MkVI and the trigger and bird's head butt assembly from a MkV. It was an incredibly lucky find in my book, as my opinion is that the LC gun had the b-head grip and most definitely had a 6 inch barrel.

: I don't have photos but I couldn't see much on the one you have on your PhotoPoint album. It appears that it's probably the bird's head. I did like your album. Is that your clover lighter made the Fall Guy way? And are those your revolvers? That's quite a Webley collection, with the one odd Colt New Service.

: : Do you have photos that support the square-butt, full MkVI being in the film? I'd like to see them if you do. The one semi-good photo I've seen of the pistol butt is in the b&w set photo of Ford and Connery, where Ford has the pistol in his pants waistband. I've put it in my Jacket photopoint album:
