What is Franklin Mint John Wayne Colt 45 cost?
I could find only a Bradford Mint replica non-firing rifle which was selling on EBay for $100. From what I could gather a non-firing, strictly decorative Colt 45, depending on the condition, can be around that price. The real firing gun copied exactly from Wayne's own Colt 45* can be upwards of $1000 or more if you can find one and it's in good condition.
*The Colt Company made the Colt 45 replica just for Wayne which was exactly like a the late 1800's or early 1900's Colt selling at that time. The only difference was the firing pin (I think). I know little about collectable guns but I know Wayne did, the photo of his Colt was a beauty.

Named after an airdale dog from his boyhood, 'Duke' was Wayne's moniker long before he took the name of John Wayne.
Actually there is information on this very question in a recent American Rifleman article. The grips were made of Calalin, I believe it is Bakelite. The article says that Wayne liked them so much he actually tea stained them himself to replicate old ivory. Although he did use other Colts from Stembridge, the supplier of movie firearms, and at least one had those type of grips, in most movies he used his own Colt with the Catalin yellow grips. He also had finger grooves in the left grip. The interesting thing about the gun is that it was a combination of several Colts. Originally a Bisley, it had been altered by adding a regular SAA grip and the triggerguard had been enlarged, probably to better fit the Duke's large finger and make it easier to twirl. And actually it is not a .45 as thought, but a .44-40. He gifted this gun and his holster and belt to an employee and it is now in a private collection. It really is an interesting look when you see a good picture of it. I would like to build one to go with my own Duke gun rig. I suspect the Duke's own Colt would be worth 6 figures.
What is value of john Wayne rifle wall rack?
Currently they are selling for around $450. One sold on eBay in October 2010 for $150. That was the lowest price I've seen. The hard part is finding one. Back in 1982, I believe, they sold new for about $30.

What specific kind of cap did John Wayne wear in the movie The Quiet Man?
I don't know of the specific styles name, but i do own the movie in DVD format with lots of interviews by the people who made the film and participants in roles. Maureen O'hara said her father made that particular hat and most of them for the film. I've been looking for that hat ever since because of the wide cut and snapless front to the brim. What a totally different look from most of the Irish caps being sold today.
What was Harry Carey's distinctive hand gesture that was imitated by john Wayne in the searchers?
It was the right hand reaching across the chest and holding on to the top left part of arm... John Wayne does this at the very end of The Searchers, right before he turns around and walks away into the distance...
How many years was john Wayne the singing black and white cowboy?
Cowboy, certainly, but not a musical one. As far as I know John Wayne never did any singing onscreen. Singing cowpunchers would include Gene Autry ( melody Ranch) Roy Rogers- at least he had a theme song- Happy trails, and surely there were others- Mr. Rogers ( not the kiddy star) had a group called alternately- the Range Riders, and the Sons of the Pioneers. Lorne Green did a couple of songs- including, obviously a vocal version of Bonanza. The song gives the incorrect idea - maybe this was a screenwriters idea that Bonanza, like say Melody Ranch, was the name of the Rancho as it is a Spanish term. No Russian Cowgirls which might verify that old parody about- Thy Precious Russian Body, becomes our PAY DIRT feast! Bonanza indeed!
