The Hound of the Baskervilles is a British 1959 screen adaptation of the famous detective novel by Arthur Conan Doyle. It is directed by Terence Fisher and stars Peter Cushing as Sherlock Holmes, André Morell as Doctor Watson, and Christopher Lee as Sir Henry Baskerville. Unlike most screen versions of the novel, this one is more a horror movie than a detective one.
The following weapons were used in the film The Hound of the Baskervilles:
Revolvers
Webley No.5 Express
Dr. Watson (André Morell) carries a Webley No.5 Express revolver. Due to a continuity error, this gun is also seen in hands of Sherlock Holmes (Peter Cushing) instead of previously seen revolver.
Webley Bulldog style Pocket Revolver
Sherlock Holmes (Peter Cushing) holds a pocket revolver that appears to be some version of solid-frame Webley RIC or Bulldog, but with a slender frame and thin barrel. The visible lack of the trigger guard allows to guess that the revolver has folding tigger. Such models are common among Belgian and German clones of British Bullgod, and they were often chambered in small calibers, like .32 or even smaller (the combination of long thin barrel and short cylinder allows to make a guess that the screen gun is chambered in .22 or .230 Eley calibers but it's a vague guess).
Pistols
Percussion Cap Pistol
Four Percussion Cap Pistols are seen on the wall in Baskerville Hall. Two are large, and two of smaller size.
Muskets
Several muskets are seen on the wall in Baskerville Hall.
