Kevin Coster, THE POSTMAN, attributed Winchester - Model 92 saddle ring carbine - from Stembridge Armory, used in movies. - .44 WCF - 20" barrel. - Good condition. - Dull red-brown paint over old bright reblue. Working. Sound wood w/ lots of usage marks. Legible markings include property house "RKO / S211" and large Stembridge "S". Hang tag reads "THE POSTMAN - KEVIN COSTNER / This gun was painted to appear rusty & old - bore is plugged with 40 yrs of accumulated black powder fouling." - From that note, and the fact that repro 92’s would have been readily available when The Postman was made if they had bought one specifically for that movie, it is likely this rifle also has a long history of usage in other movies. Also note the RKO marking. RKO studios ceased production in 1957, suggesting this has been a Hollywood gun for a long time. Robert Mitchum starred in a string of RKO Westerns from 1944 to 1954. From a fast forward through the Postman DVD (panned by critics, but a movie I really like), it appears this rifle is the one used to kill the bad guy in the final climatic fight. It would be interesting to check out some other Costner flicks to see if the gun can be spotted elsewhere. - This gun is documented by photo, s/n & description as a Stembridge gun with specific movie attribution in the Little John’s Auction catalog, 6/5/07. – s/n 939914 - C&R ffl - item #RW-Cstnr - $7,500
