It appears to be [[Iver Johnson Revolver|Iver Johnson]]. <br /> [[Image:Iver Johnson .32.jpg|thumb|none|300px|Iver Johnson - .32 S&amp;W]]<br /> [[File:Appointment with Death-Revolver2-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Sarah King (Jenny Seagrove) holds the revolver over the body of Hassan.]]<br /> [[File:Appointment with Death-Revolver2-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|She drops the gun.]]<br /> [[File:Appointment with Death-Revolver2-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Poirot examines the revolver.]]<br /> [[File:Appointment with Death-Revolver2-4.jpg|thumb|none|600px|]]<br /> [[File:Appointment with Death-Revolver2-5.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The assassination in flashback scene. A close view of the revolver allows to identify it as Iver Johnson rather than [[Smith &amp; Wesson 4th Model]] to which the gun also looks like.]]<br /> <br /> == Webley .455 Mk VI ==<br /> Col. Carbury ([[John Gielgud]]), Capt. Rogers ([[Douglas Sheldon]]) and an officer in Jerusalem carry revolvers in typical holsters for [[Webley .455 Mk VI]]. The only revolver, seen out of holster, appears too briefly.<br /> [[File:Webley Mk VI.jpg|thumb|none|300px|Webley Mk VI - .455 Webley]]<br /> [[File:Appointment with Death-Revolver1-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Col.

Carbury's office.<br /> [[Image:jezail1.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Jezail Musket]]<br /> [[File:Appointment with Death-Jezail-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Two Jezails are seen on the wall.]]<br /> <br /> = Machine Guns =<br /> == Unidentified machine gun ==<br /> A machine gun is mounted on the armoured car coaxial with main gun. The turret resembles the one of German Pz.II tank, so the machine gun could be [[MG34 Panzerlauf]], and the main gun - 2 cm KwK 30.<br /> [[Image:Mg34hb.jpg|thumb|none|400px|For comparison: MG34 Panzerlauf with stock fitted - 7.92x57mm Mauser]]<br /> [[File:Appointment with Death-Armor-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|British armoured car in the port of Jaffa.]]<br /> [[File:Appointment with Death-Armor-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The same armoured car is seen at the entrance of British headquarters in Jerusalem.]]<br /> <br /> = Trivia =<br /> Unknown armoured car is seen in several scenes. Its turret resembles the one of German Pz.II tank. The movie was filmed in Israel, so the armoured car is possibly some custom vehicle of early days of IDF.<br /> [[File:Appointment with Death-Armor-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|]]<br /> [[File:Appointment with Death-Armor-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|British armoured car in the port of Jaffa.]]<br /> [[File:Appointment with Death-Armor-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The same armoured car is seen at the entrance of British headquarters in Jerusalem.]]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Movie]]<br /> [[Category:Detective]]<br /> [[Category:Drama]]<br /> [[Category:Mystery]]<br /> [[Category:Michael Winner]]<br /> [[Category:Agatha Christie]]</div>
