			:Agreed - looks like it might be a Webley & Scott Metropolitan Police, with some sort of little dingus on the end of the barrel.

			== Astra 400 ==

			I'm not convinced the Unknown pistol is a Astra 400. I see the ressemblance but a few key points stand out. The movie version has a different trigger guard and it is positioned closer to the barrel than the Astra 400. The barrel (movie) looks thinner and has this strange extension/(supressor?) at the end of it. [[User:Dudster32\|Dudester32]] ([[User talk:Dudster32\|talk]]) 03:27, 17 November 2015 (EST)

	:::Thats not a bad theory. There was never a lack of WW2 movies in those days that needed propweapons. It might have been an emergency solution for a problem the filmmakers encountered. Perhaps they shot some scenes and didnt have the Mk.I blank-firing gear available. Maybe the second unit had propguns and first unit had blank-firing guns or something.

			:::I think i wrote the ''"All scenes etc..."'' line, i never realised the boat scene - great spot. Another clue to the 2 different Sten guns could be the locations, whilst they shot virtually everything on Rhodes a lot of stuff was filmed at a British studio back lot. The whole gun cave sequence, cliff climbing and the shipwreck scenes i know for certain. May be they also shot some of the gun battle on the boat there as well, i believe they constructed a huge water tank for the shipwreck scenes????--[[User:The Mercenary\|The Mercenary]] 17:46, 2 August 2012 (CDT)
