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.

Best seen when Jesse gives the gun to Bob Ford (Casey Affleck), which Bob later uses to infamously shoot him in the back.
