Revision as of 20:16, 8 April 2012
The following weapons can be seen in the British Thames Television miniseries Reilly: Ace of Spies (1983):
British mini-series portraying the adventures of real-life spy Lt. Sidney George Reilly (Sam Neill) (1873-1925). The series is a fictionalized account of his exploits. There are twelve episodes and the stories take place in various locales such as Korea, Armenia, Germany, England, United States and Russia.
Handguns
Webley Mk VI
Webley Mk IV Pocket Model
Enfield No. 2 Mk I
Reilly (Sam Neill) keeps what appears to be an Enfield No.2 Mk I as his bedside revolver when on a mission in St. Petersburg in 1910.
Nagant M1887 Revolver
Swedish Nagant M1887 revolvers are seen standing in for Russian M1895 Nagants, which were quite rare in the West when the miniseries was being filmed.
Mauser C96
Smith & Wesson Mk II Hand Ejector
Used by Zaharov (Leo McKern). Zaharov was an actual arms dealer who had great power and influence in Europe during the late 19th and early 20th century. There is a possibility that he and Reilly crossed paths. In the mini-series they are shown as having something of a love - hate relationship. It appears that the revolver used by Zaharov is a Smith & Wesson Mk II Hand Ejector. Though I was unable to get a clearer screencap. If it is a Smith & Wesson Mk II then this is a technical error. The scene when Zaharov and Reilly first meet takes place in 1901. The large frame Smith & Wesson sometimes called the 44 Frame or the N Frame wasn't introduced until 1907. The Mk II Hand Ejector didn't come out until 1915. Nevertheless it does look "correct" for the time period and ultimately it is just a prop. Additionally the series was filmed in England and it's very likely that the .455 caliber Mk II Hand Ejector would be more readily available than the Smith & Wesson 44 Special 2ND Model.
Colt 1878 Double Action
Reilly (Sam Neill) arms himself with one of Count Massino's revolvers, a Colt 1878 Double Action when they go hunting for pigs.
Chamelot-Delvigne Model 1873
Count Massino (John Castle) uses a Chamelot-Delvigne Model 1873 when they go hunting for pigs.
Colt New Service
During the hunt for pigs, Reilly's mistress Nadia Massino (Celia Gregory) uses a Colt New Service slightly modified to resemble a Single Action Army.
Colt M1911
After having failed in his attempt to overthrow the Bolshevik government in 1918, Reilly (Sam Neill) and one of his compatriots flee to the British Embassy in St. Petersburg. The embassy has been shut down and is staffed by just a skeleton crew of British citizens, including Commander Cromie (Barry Stokes) of His Majesty's Royal Navy, who is acting as the banker for Reilly's operation. With the counter-revolution crushed, Bolshevik troops are sent to storm the embassy and if possible arrest Reilly. Commander Cromie refuses to flee, deciding instead to defend the embassy and go down with the ship. It's interesting to note that Cromie is armed with two Colt Model 1911 pistols. I assume that they are the models chambered for the .455 Webley Self-Loading Pistol Cartridge. One is also used by a Cheka assassin to kill a female prisoner in Lubyanka in 1918.
Mauser C96 Bolo
Mannlicher Model 1905
Luger P08
Browning Hi-Power
Reilly (Sam Neill) hands a Browning Hi-Power to his secretary Eugenie (Eleanor David) when she takes the position. The use of this pistol is very anachronistic, as the scene takes place in 1924. The following year, a Cheka agent sets down a Hi-Power while searching Reilly's flat.
Beretta Model 1919
When Reilly (Sam Neill) takes Alexandra "The Plugger" (Lindsay Duncan) shopping for a Glisenti pistol, the gunsmith tells him that he has no Glisentis but offers a similar Beretta, most likely a Beretta Model 1919. Alexandra tries the pistol out but finds it too light and opts instead for the Mannlicher. When in New York, Reilly carries one in a brown leather shoulder holster, shooting someone for betraying him. Capt. Hill (Hugh Fraser) is also seen loading one after Reilly's capture.
Webley & Scott Mk I
Mannlicher Model 1903
Submachine gun
Thompson Model 1921A
Rifle
Mosin Nagant Rifle
Mauser 1898
Count Massino (John Castle) uses a Mauser Gewehr 1898 during the pig hunt.
Machine gun
Vickers Machine Gun
The Vickers Machine Gun is used as a substitute for the Maxim Model 1910 Machine gun. Especially in the episodes set in Russia in 1918 when Reilly is trying to overthrow the Bolsheviks. The mini-series was filmed in 1983 in the United Kingdom. It's plausible that it wasn't easy to obtain a Maxim 1910 so the production weapons man had to improvise. The shots of the machine gun are very fast when watching the actual production. With skillful editing the Vickers passes for a Maxim Model 1910.
Shotgun
Unidentified Double Barrel Shotgun
In the first episode Reilly's mistress has been murdered. He demands answers from the head of British naval intelligence in the man's office. The 12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun is empty, but Reilly (Sam Neill) is making a point. At this point he believes that she might have been ordered murdered because of fears that Reilly would have talked to her while in her bed. He notes that while the shotgun is of English origin, its trigger mechanism is from Texas.
