'''''The Battleflag''''' (''Die Standarte'') is a 1977 Austrian-German-Spanish movie directed by Ottokar Runze. Last year of war in October 1918. The end of the war is looming. The young sergeant Herbert Menis experiences his first love with the young lady-in-waiting Resa Lang and must watch a little later, as his ideals are broken into pieces: a whole regiment of Ruthenian, Polish and Galician soldiers begin to mutiny against the military superiors and thus to rebel against the imperial family. Menis receives from the hand of a dying comrade the regimental standard, the symbol of the decaying Habsburg Empire. With the preservation of the standard, the ensign is now more concerned about life and death: It is about the honor - his and those of the fatherland. | '''''The Battleflag''''' (''Die Standarte'') is a 1977 Austrian-German-Spanish movie directed by Ottokar Runze.

The Battleflag (Die Standarte) is a 1977 Austrian-German-Spanish movie directed by Ottokar Runze. Last year of war in October 1918. The end of the war is looming. The young sergeant Herbert Menis experiences his first love with the young lady-in-waiting Resa Lang and must watch a little later, as his ideals are broken into pieces: a whole regiment of Ruthenian, Polish and Galician soldiers begin to mutiny against the military superiors and thus to rebel against the imperial family. Menis receives from the hand of a dying comrade the regimental standard, the symbol of the decaying Habsburg Empire. With the preservation of the standard, the ensign is now more concerned about life and death: It is about the honor - his and those of the fatherland.
The following weapons were used in the film The Battleflag:
Handguns
Colt M1911
The Colt M1911 is used by Austro-Hungarian officers including Herbert Menis (Simon Ward), standing for correct Steyr M1912 pistols.

The British officer (David Robb) draws an unknown revolver that seems like a Spanish copy of a Colt or Smith & Wesson variant.

Spanish Mauser 1895 carbine
