All Quiet on the Western Front (1979)


Turkish Mauser

Throughout the movie most of the German soldiers can be seen using Turkish Model 1903's as a stand in for the Gewehr 98. You can tell it is a Mauser 1903 by the lack of the Langes Visier rear sight, finger groove seen on most Gewehr 98's, and the characteristic front barrel band seen on the Mauser 98 and many of it's derivatives.

Model 24 hand grenade

The Model 24 Stielhandgranate is used in numerous occasions by German soldiers, including the main character, Paul Baumer (Richard Thomas). It is an anachronism as the Model 24 was manufactured from 1924, after WWI. It should be a Model 17 Stielhandgranate, but M17 dummy grenades were unavailable.
