Enfield No.2 Mk.1*
When aging and bored with idleness Sherlock Holmes (Patrick Macnee) hears suspicious footsteps on the stairs, he draws an Enfield No.2 Mk.1* revolver (not fitting for that time). Holmes is also seen with an Enfield No.2 on the film poster.
Webley RIC No.1 New Model
A Webley RIC No.1 New Model is one of the guns, used in the double murder. It is hold by one of the killed men, actor John Gadsby (Dale Kelly), in the scene that illustrates Inspector Lestrade's version of events, and by Moriarty (Jack Macreath) in the flashback scene that shows the real course of events.
Harrington & Richardson Young America Bulldog
A Harrington & Richardson Young America Bulldog revolver is the second gun, used in the double murder. Inspector Lestrade's version of events shows the gun used by theatrical agent Norman Striker (Ed Belanger), while Moriarty (Jack Macreath) uses this revolver in the flashback scene that shows the real course of events.
Single Action Army (blank firing)
A blank firing version of Single Action Army that is a stage prop in the theatrical play, directed by Moriarty (under the name of Rex London), is intended to be secretly loaded with live ammo for the assassination of the King of Bohemia who present at the premiere of the play. Most likely the screen gun is Italian manufactured; Chiappa SAA 1873 is a good example of such guns.
