There's even a scene where he went and purchased it. It was a Holland & Holland "Elephant Magnum" (Wiki) supposedly similar to what John Huston took with him while filming the movie. Since Eastwood's character was based on John Huston and the shooting of the movie "The African Queen", I always remember John Huston's speech at as I recall the Oscars, I believe he may have been receiving a "Lifetime Achievement" award. He related the experience that while filming the movie, the local police came and arrested the hunter hired to provide meat for the camp. It seems that the hunter had been providing what was called "Long Pig" for everyone to eat.

I prefer wood to plastic, leather to nylon, waxed cotton to Gore-Tex, and split bamboo to graphite.
