Columbo was an American crime television show that was originally part of NBC's Sunday Night Mystery Movie series. The show starred Peter Falk as Lt. Columbo, a quirky, but experienced LAPD detective who was seen solving primarily murder cases through his carefully-worded questions and his powers of observation. Each season of the series consisted of several feature-length episodes that would air throughout each year and the show would continuously air from 1968 to 2003. The series would be released on DVD under several different season designations, but the episode numbering here reflects the entries as seen on the IMDB.
The following weapons were used in the television series Columbo:
In "Double Exposure" (S03E04), Dr. Bart Kepple (Robert Culp) has a display of several handguns including an artillery model Luger P08. Kepple (Robert Culp) also uses one of the Lugers in the same episode.
Joe Devlin (Clive Revill) and Vincent Pauley (Albert Paulsen) holds in hand a suppressed Walther PPK in episode "The Conspirators" (S07E05). Vivian Dimitri (Helen Shaver) in episode "Rest in Peace, Mrs. Columbo" (S09E04) used suppressed stainless Walther PPK. A stainless Walther PPK is seen in the hands of Delores (Tyne Daly) in "A Bird in the Hand..." (S11E03).
Already in the episode called "Murder by Book" (S01E01), Ken Franklin (Jack Cassidy) uses the Smith & Wesson Model 36 snub revolver. For the majority of the series, Lt. Columbo (Peter Falk) was not seen carrying a firearm while on duty. However, in the episode "Lady in Waiting " (S01E05) he disarm the assassin Beth Chadwick (Susan Clark), and in the episode "No Time to Die" (S11E02), what appears to be this revolver is seen in the hands of the detective. This also happens to be the revolver of choice for several other LAPD detectives.
