The Last Chance is a 1945 Swiss movie directed by Leopold Lindtberg set during the Second World War and is considered to be the most famous cinema production in Switzerland in its more than one hundred years of film history. Northern Italian 1943, American Sergeant Braddock, and English Lieutenant Halliday are able to escape from German captivity during a transport together. They hide and have to witness the deportation of Jewish civilians. At the northern Italian border, they meet refugees from various countries trying to make their way across the mountains to the safety of Switzerland and take charge of the group.
The following weapons were used in the film The Last Chance:
Revolvers
Ordonnanzrevolver 1872
British Major Telford (Ewart G. Morrison) keeps a revolver in his back pocket. This revolver appears to be of Swiss origin rather than British like a Webley. The revolver is described by Maj. Telford as a revolver to which he has 5 rounds. An Ordonnanzrevolver 1872 but it can also be a Model 1882 Revolver.
Submachine Guns
Beretta M1938A
An Italian partisan and a German soldier can be seen wielding Beretta Model 38As.
Suomi KP/-31
What appears to be a Suomi KP/-31 equipped with a stick magazine is carried by one partisan. The Swiss Military purchased many of these in November 1942 from Finland which were designated as "Mp. 43".
Rifles
Karabiner 31
German and Swiss soldiers are seen using K31 Rifles.
Vetterli Model 1869/71
Numourous German soldiers are seen with Vetterli Model 1869/71 rifles.
Vetterli Model 1870
Some of the Italian partisans appear to be armed with Vetterli Model 1870 Cadet rifles.
Carcano M91/38 Cavalry Carbine
Italian soldiers have Carcano M91/38 Cavalry Carbines.
Mauser Gewehr 1898
At least, one German soldier carries a Gewehr 98.
Unknown Rifles
Some full-length rifles are carried by Italian partisans.
Machine Guns
Furrer M25
A German soldier is seen hip-firing a Swiss Furrer Lmg 25.
Other
Beretta Holster
Two Italian officers carry a holster for a Beretta M1934. It is unclear if the holsters contain the pistol.
Double Barreled Shotgun
One of the partisans holds a 12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun which is a continuity error since he was seen with an unknown rifle a few scenes before.
