  • Question about the bullet in his gun belt

    Liberty Valance,

    First of all I'd like to welcome you to this great message board. We love John Wayne and all the things about him. You are right that we have talked about this question before. And I knew about the subject, but I had to search myself because I have forgotten about this, and it is good to research this answer.

    The answer is: the single long bullet John wayne carried in the back center of his gunbelt was actualy .45-70 Springfield Trapdoor cartridge, it was carried in tribute to the soldiers of the Indian wars. I had to go back over three years ago to find that answer.

    You can go to: http://www.dukewayne.com/showt…highlight=bullet+gun+belt and you can see the discussion about that bullet. I'd answer this for you but I didn't know the answer. You will see who does.

    Thanks for being a part of this special place and feel free to ask any question; you'll get an answer.

    Cheers :cool: Hondo Duke Lane
