== Webley .455 Mk VI ==
A [[Webley .455 Mk VI]] revolver is a murder weapon in "Pilot" (S01E00). A flashback scene reveals the murder, showing the gun in hands of Rosalind Stromming (Flora Montgomery). In "Home" (S01E04) DI Fred Thursday ([[Roger Allam]]) takes his wartime revolver when gangsters threaten his daughter.

== Webley .455 Mk V ==
A [[Webley .455 Mk V]] ([[Webley .455 Mk IV|Mk IV]] is also possible but less credible) is a murder weapon in "Girl" (S01E01). Flashback scenes of two murders show the gun in hands of Wallace Clark (Albert Welling). Millicent Coke Norris ([[Poppy Miller]]) uses a Webley Mk V for several murders in "Home" (S01E04).

== Colt Detective Special ==
A compact revolver that belongs to Sir Edmund Sloan (Jonathan Hyde) is seen in "Girl" (S01E01). It is seen only partially but can be identified as a [[Colt Detective Special]].

== Astra Cadix ==
A snub nose revolver is found in Percy Malleson's (James Merry) lanchbox in "Rocket" (S01E03). The shape of the frame and trigger guard resemble Astra revolvers; [[Astra Cadix]] seems to be a decent guess (and it fits for 1960s).

== Colt Python ==
During the arrest of gangster Vince Kasper in "Home" (S01E04) one of police officers holds a [[Colt Python]] (a strange choice as Pythons were never issued to British police).

= Trivia =
A fictional surface-to-air missile, named Standfast Mk 2, is seen in several scenes on munitions factory in "Rocket" (S01E03). The general outlook of the missile is based on such real life British SAMs as Bristol Bloodhound and English Electric Thunderbird. The storyline of purchasing Standfast missiles by a fictional Middle East state is also a reference to Thunderbird that was purchased by Saudi Arabia in 1967.
