Who's Patton in G.I.joe retaliation movie, when roadblock said to joe that's Patton's gun. Any comic book pics of what he looks like?
I'm not sure if he was a G.I.joe General in the past when joe was young.

He is referring to General George Patton from World War 2, he carried a pearl handled gun, commander of the US 3rd army

What was nice about that G.I. Joe Retaliation movie weapon prop is that they used a WWI version of the M1911. (It was ivory-handled cobraviper72, not pearl-handled, and Patton would be offended anytime someone would make that mistake.)
It is expected that Joe Colton would keep the ivory handgrips engraved with Patton's initials, but he chose to modify the weapon with his own hammer and trigger. I doubt that many owners could ever bring themselves to modify such a significant historical piece. The museum at Fort Knox has several of Patton's weapons on display to the public, but I don't know who keeps that pistol in real life. Joe Colton would certainly treasure such a gift. When 2nd Lieutenant Patton was involved in the 1915 Mexican Punitive Expedition, he got his first experience in battle, and was promoted to 1st Lieutenant after having shot a general of the rebel's army with it. It was said to be his weapon of choice at that time, but when he visited a local saloon at the border, the pistol accidentally discharged, and Patton decided to replace it with more reliable revolvers. He was mostly seen wearing revolvers after that, but on a few rare occasions during WWII he was photographed wearing that pistol.

Three years later, Hasbro (Kenner) sold at retail a 12-inch General George S. Patton action figure as part of the 1997 G.I. Joe Classic Collection. So, technically you are correct, because he was a G.I. Joe general as far as action figures are concerned.

You are correct, i was in a hurry when i typed it, thank you, I watched an interview over the weekend with Pattons personal driver, he said Pattons grips were not pearl or ivory but plastic, he wanted ivory but as his driver said, there was no place in the middle of a war zone to find that so some guy made his grips out of plastic.

You guys are very informative I'm learning so much, I appreciate the data. How much you guys think that gun is worth now a days?

Replicas General Patton's Pistols - Colt 45 and SW 357 Here's a different gun out of his collection, a stag horn grip. https://www.foxnews.com/science/colt...75g-at-auction "Patton was and remains the most effective battlefield general this country has produced in the last 100 years - maybe even ever. It is difficult to compare generalship when experience and events vary so widely. Some generals who may have been just as great maybe never had the opportunities to really shine. Others who were effective battlefield leaders perhaps just didn't get the press Patton did, because they weren't as "good" a story at the time (like Omar Bradley). But without doubt, Patton was, in terms of tactics, the very best of his generation. He found himself in the right war, in the right place, with the right army and equipment; the stars aligned just right for him, given his chosen profession. He himself recognized this and even publicly stated so -- in almost the same words I used. Patton's was the consummate warrior spirit – and he knew not only how to inspire and lead soldiers, he also knew how to win a battle and a war. His biggest weakness was he was no politician; today, we seem to think that a man cannot have any flaws and still be any good. George Patton had his weaknesses and some of them were not insignificant. Absent war, he was a piece of work; he was at times a lost, depressed and wandering beast. He was often extremely arrogant; publicly, at least, he wasn’t known for any degree of humility. But in terms of generalship and his craft, that of prosecuting and winning war, I don't think he has an equal. Give the man his due... his results speak for themselves." https://crazybearchronicles.blogspot...stols.html?m=1
