Percussion cap and ball. Very strange gun to have an accidental load in it.
It’s just like an episode in Columbo
I don’t see anything that would cause the trigger on that gun to pull itself.
Wow!
That’s a beautiful weapon
Colt navy from the looks of it. 36 caliber black powder percussion. Likely a Uberti repro. If so, how did a percussion gun, which you have to load manually and VERY deliberately get loaded up with a bullet? Now if it was a SAA the process is simplified. Perhaps it was cartridge converted for movie use?

P.S. The daily mail wouldn’t know a gun from a hole in the ground. Most presstitutes don’t know anything about firearms.

Isn’t it easiest to check such a gun for billets?? I mean can’t you just look at the chambers?
That picture has the caption “A vintage Colt Dragoon from the 1800s is seen. The fatal gun was a Colt, but the model and caliber are sill unclear.”
So no one seems to know anything about the gun other than it was a Colt. The DM just put up a random picture.
It’s not black, so it can’t be an evil gun!!
