Revolvers

Unidentified revolver

Donovan Bailey (Nicholas Pritchard) holds a revolver in "The Third Floor Flat" (S01E05). The gun is seen only from the muzzle and is hard to be identified. The size of the muzzle and chambers allow to guess that it's a small caliber weapon. There is a possibility that it's the same gun that is used in "The Dream" (S01E10) (see below).

Colt compact revolver

In "The Dream" (S01E10) a compact revolver is seen in hands of Hercule Poirot (David Suchet) who then gives it to Captain Hastings (Hugh Fraser). The revolver is some Colt model; Colt New Pocket seems to be a good guess.
