Hands of a Murderer (also released as Sherlock Holmes and the Prince of Crime) is a 1990 British made for TV adventure movie directed by Stuart Orme and starring Edward Woodward as Sherlock Holmes, John Hillerman as Dr. John Watson, and Anthony Andrews as Prof. James Moriarty.
Colonel Gould (Warren Clarke), the head of Secret Service, carries a compact revolver that is seen only in darkness. It appears to be a version of Webley RIC revolver, like a Webley Metropolitan Police.
Inspector Lestrade (Terence Lodge) carries a revolver that is supposed to be a kind of Beaumont-Adams (or maybe Tranter) revolver, cap and ball or converted into breach loading version.
In the scene of the fake funeral of Holmes, Moriarty's aide Sophie DeVere (Kim Thomson), disguised as a Quaker boy, holds a revolver. This gun has a frame, similar to Tranter M1868 but the extractor under the barrel looks very different.
One of Lestrade's constables (Steve Ellis) who hides on a fir tree during the fake funeral, is armed with a top-break Webley-style revolver that turns out to be a Webley-Wilkinson Model 1892 or Model 1900, based on Webley WG model.
German spy Oberstein (Nickolas Grace) carries a Mauser C96 pistol. When Oberstein is killed by Watson's accurate shot, Colonel Gould (Warren Clarke) takes the pistol. While C96 already existed in 1900 when the story is set, the screen gun has smooth rails on each side of the barrel extension and side-to-side lanyard ring, both signs of post-WW1 models.
