And I doubt the rifles 'count', since I was thinking about the Remington Nylon 66 in 'Mohawk' and 'Apache' attire. :-D

In handguns, the various Hi Standards were probably best known in this country. I haven't seen one for a long time, but they used to be fairly common at gun shows.

Image searching turns up a few of them, but the most interesting data point I happened across was from this advertisement on Page 68 of the November 1957 issue of Guns magazine.

After finding this, I added 'dura-tone' to my search terms, but didn't really find much else.

In particular, no (vintage) .22 rifles in similar colors.
