In Hollywood 19th century cowboys can have 20th century cutlery. I think sooner or later the time of the switchblades origin will be pushed back some however. The Magnificent Seven was based on the Seven Samuri, and the new fangled item in it was a "Broomhandle Mauser".

So if we see a cowboy movie and the blue skies of Texas have a jet contrail streaking across it, we shouldn't worry about it? :D

Just like phone lines and tire tracks. Or cowboys with .38 specials or all the other wonders of the silver screen.

When I was a kid, I was watching The Wild Wild West, and in a fight scene one of the bad guys got knocked over, and you could see that he had Converse All-Stars on with just the tops of some fake boots over them. Shattered my faith in TV.

I'm surprised he didn't have real boots with fake Converse tops.
