- Actors: Gary Cooper, Walter Brennan, Joan Leslie, George Tobias, Stanley Ridges, Dickie Moore, Noah Beery Jr., Ward Bond, Joe Sawyer, Pat Flaherty
- Directors: Howard Hawks
The following weapons were used in the film Sergeant York:
Colt Single Action Army 7 1/2" Barrel Revolver
During his early years, York is seen firing a Colt Single Action Army.
Kentucky Rifle
George York (Dickie Moore) carrying a Kentucky Rifle during Alvin's early years.
1873 Trapdoor Springfield
1873 Springfield Trapdoor Rifle mocked up to resemble a Kentucky Rifle is also seen.
1903 Springfield Rifle
Throughout the film, York is seen using the M1903 Springfield, which was the standard issue rifle of US forces during WWI. However, in reality, York was issued an 1917 Enfield rifle.
Maxim MG08 Machine Gun
German forces are armed with the Maxim MG08 machine gun.
Mauser Gewehr 1898 Rifle
German soldiers also carry Mauser Gew 98 Rifles.
Colt 1911 Pistol
The Colt M1911 is carried by by Sergeant Early (Joe Sawyer) and Sgt Harry Parsons (Pat Flaherty)
Luger P08 Pistol
Originally, Sgt. Alvin York used his M1911 sidearm while taking cover in a crater, gunned down six Germans with his M1911 pistol, firing back to front like he hunted turkeys but M1911 Pistols were difficult to covert to blanks at the time of filming so they simply had Cooper liberate Luger P08 off of a dead German soldier. Cooper having met York initially refused to shoot the scene with the Luger, but was told because of timing they needed to shoot the scene with the weapon, and was promised they'd re-shoot the scene with the M1911, but this never happened.
