The following weapons were used in the film The Hound of the Baskervilles:
In several scenes, including the night scene in Baskerville Hall, Dr. John Watson (Donald Churchill) holds a Webley .455 Mk VI revolver, not fitting for the Victorian era.
In the scenes on the marshes Dr. Watson's revolvers switches to a more appropriate Webley "WG" Army Model. Sherlock Holmes (Ian Richardson) takes Watson's revolver when he pursues Stapleton in the final scene.
In the final scene Jack Stapleton (Nicholas Clay) uses a compact Webley revolver of .455 series. Mk III seems to be the best guess though Mk IV or Mk V are also possible.
Soldiers, patrolling the countryside during the hunt after escaped convict Selden, carry Lee-Metford or pre-SMLE Lee-Enfield rifles (Lee-Metford Mk. II* and Lee-Enfield Mk. I are externally identical).
