'''''Horror Express''''' (Spanish title ''Pánico en el Transiberiano'' ("Panic in the Trans-Siberian Train")) is a 1972 British-Spanish English language horror film, directed by Eugenio Martin (credited as Gene Martin). In 1906 a renowned British anthropologist Prof. Sir Alexander Saxton ([[Christopher Lee]]) works in China and finds a frozen prehistoric humanoid. He returns to Europe by the Trans-Siberian Express with a crate containing the creature remains. During the voyage, the creature returns to life, and a series of horrible events follow, as the humanoid turns out to be only a host for an alien creature that can transfers itself from a body to another.<br />

= Pistols =<br />
== FN Model 1903 ==<br />
Russian police Inspector Mirov ([[Julio Peña]]) carries an [[FN Model 1903]] pistol (it's worth noting that Russian Imperial police didn't use Inspector rank). Later the pistol is taken from Mirov by Cossack Capt. Kazan ([[Telly Savalas]]). FN Model 1903 was really issued to Russian police and gendarmes force but it happened only in 1908.<br />

<br />
== Star Model B ==<br />
Capt. Kazan's sidearm is a [[Star Model B]] pistol (definitely not the right gun for that time and place) but he doesn't use it.<br />
