Error creating thumbnail: File missing WARNING! THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS!
Revolvers
Korth Blank Firing Revolver
Harry Palmer (Michael Caine) uses a Korth blank firing revolver in the exterior scenes in Berlin. See the discussion page for extra details.
Colt Detective Special
In a continuity error, Harry’s revolver becomes a Colt Detective Special when he checks it in his hotel room. This could be due to the interior scenes being filmed in Britain, where the German props were unavailable.
Pistols
Frommer Stop
One of Kreutzman’s henchmen uses a Frommer Stop.
Mauser HSc
One of the Israeli agents is armed with a Mauser HSc.
Walther PP
Several characters use the Walther PP during the film.
Unidentified pistol
One on the Israeli agents is seen briefly carrying an automatic pistol of some form. The scene is very quick so identification is tricky.
Submachine Guns
Sterling Mk. IV
Several characters use the Sterling Mk. IV.
Sten Mk II
A Sten Mk II is used by the Israeli agent and is briefly used by an East German border guard. This is a Mk II as it has a metal T-stock and no pistol grip, but is fitted with a Mk V sight (see discussion for extra notes).
Rifles
Sturmgewehr 44
The Sturmgewehr 44 is used by East German Border Guards and police.
AKS-47
One of the East German Guards carries a folding-stock AKS-47 rifle. In a continuity error this becomes a standard fixed stock version of the AK rifle, but as most of the weapon is not visible, identification is impossible.
