During the robbery of the armoured car a guard draws his pistol but has no time to shoot. The pistol is seen through the windshield and hardly can be identified. It resembles a Luger but has a thicker barrel. Maybe it's a [[Savage 1907]] that was used by French army during the Great War and so could be seen in France even in 1950s.
