2015 US Marshals Anniv Comm REVERSE Dollar Model familiar?

I really like the Marshals silver dollar -- especially the reverse who seems to be a portrayal of a western movie actor. I'm not sure if the Unc is better than the Proof yet.

Who is this best portraying? I'm thinking either RF or SE (hints, but not inclusive)... Your guesses?

    I have no idea who it may look like..... but I like the coin... just received mine and under initial study, appears to be MS70. Will scrutinize it under 10X later. Cheers, RickO

    It's a nice design. Although it looks more Hollywood than reality. Also the gun looks backwards in its holster. Odd configuration at least. Maybe the shooter was a southpaw.

    No guesses?

  • Looks like it might be a little like ====Wyatt Earp
  • Looks like an attempt at showing a cross draw for a lefty but yes the holster would still be backwards for a cross draw.
    Holster as shown would indicate a right hand draw but then the pistol would be backwards.
    Pistol is strange also showing an exposed hammer and should be a single action Colt Peacemaker.
    Also no self respecting lawman would keep his gun hand occupied.
    The poster he is holding should be in his right hand.
    You would think the mint could have gotten this correct.
    Its the first thing I noticed.
    Not many shooters there I guess.

    Looks like 'Doc' from 'Gunsmoke'.
    I agree on holster and pistol, hammer looks like it's from a cap lock.
    And holster location, should have had an firearms expert involved, for the sake of accuracy, or should say authenticity.
