Francisco Manoel da Silva (Klaus Kinski) carries Bolt Action Rifle with unusual appearance at the film beginning. It's presumably a .22 caliber single-shot rifle, like FN Model 1912, with a custom made buttstock and bolt handle with a large ring (for a more convenient/quick grip when reloading).
Several characters, include Francisco Manoel da Silva (Klaus Kinski) uses Lee-Enfield No. 1 Mk III* rifles. This is a heavy anachronism when a story occurs, since even the original Lee-Metford was not available until 1888, but the SMLE was obviously used due to its wide availability. As a Brazilian envoy, Francisco in reality would most likely offer American guns (such as, for example, the Rolling Block).
