Mayerling is a 1968 movie directed by Terence Young and starring Omar Sharif, Catherine Deneuve and Ava Gardner. The film is based on the real story of Austrian Crown Prince Rudolf and his mistress, Baroness Maria Vetsera.
The following weapons are seen in the movie Mayerling:
Nagant M1895 Revolver
A Nagant M1895 is seen in hands of Crown Prince Rudolf (Omar Sharif). In reality the revolver used during the Mayerling Incident was a Gasser-Kropatschek.
Mosin Nagant M1891 Rifle
The soldiers of the Austro-Hungarian army carry Mosin Nagant M1891 rifles, which is completely incorrect (Austrian infantry rifle in late 1880s was Steyr Mannlicher M1886, the predecessor of Steyr Mannlicher M1895). During the assassination attempt the shooter also is armed with a Mosin Nagant M1891 rifle.
Mosin Nagant M1938 Carbine
During the riot in Vienna the soldiers carry carbines that looks like Mosin Nagant M1938.
Double Barreled Shotgun
During the scene of the winter hunt double barreled shotguns are seen in hands of Crown Prince Rudolf (Omar Sharif), Emperor Franz Josef (James Mason) and Prince Of Wales (James Robertson Justice).
