Comes with a COA signed by the armorer for the show. Master armorer and weapon fabricator who's been in the business for over 30 years. One of the leading armorers in North America.

This was originally a real firing gun, milled out, gutted and electronics especially made for and inserted to discharge light cartridges. wiring runs through the barrel into the cylinder of the gun. From the cylinder of the gun it runs into a switch when the trigger is pulled the double action of the gun causes the hammer to strike the trigger and ignite the squib. This is all powered by a battery that is hidden beneath the pistol grips which attaches to a switch on the butt of the gun. The production wanted the gun to look real but be capable of discharging electronic squibs for close up shots, this would allow them to have the same smoke and light effect of the original live fire gun. This was the first and last time this was done by the armorer with old west period firearms making it extra special.

Most notably seen during his shootout with Wood Hite (Jeremy Renner) and during his arrest.

Original screen used Colt 1851 Navy handgun used by Dick Liddil, played by Paul Schneider in the Andrew Dominik directed epic revisionist Western film 'The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford' (2007), adapted from Ron Hansen's 1983 novel of the same title, the film dramatizes the relationship between Jesse James (Brad Pitt) and Robert Ford (Casey Affleck), focusing on the events that lead up to the titular killing.

The film received positive reviews from the critics, with Pitt and Affleck's performances receiving widespread acclaim. It received two nominations at the 80th Academy Awards; Best Cinematography and Best Supporting Actor (for Affleck). It has since gained a large fan following with many of them organizing re-releases of the film under the "Jesse James Revival" banner.
