Interesting how the replica looks a lot better then the actual prop.
That's because the replica is supposedly a cast from a hero prop (Hershey's stunt pistol) whereas the original lawgiver was a background prop. Also, Robery Cowley who finished and painted the replica for me straightened some of the lines and cut out the bits from the sight and the vents, whereas I asked Jason Willbourn to repair but not improve the original. The original looks better from the front though - look at the main barrel.
