The Beggar from Cologne Cathedral (Der Bettler vom Kölner Dom) is a 1927 German silent detective movie directed by Rolf Randolf. Tom Wilkens, an agent of the international police organisation, traces a gang of jewel thieves in Cologne in the days of famous carnival.
The following weapons were used in the film The Beggar from Cologne Cathedral (Der Bettler vom Kölner Dom):
The comical duo of private detectives, Carolus Caesar Muller (Hermann Blaß) and Napoleon Bonaparte Schmitz (Karl Geppert), carry Webley RIC revolvers. "The Beggar" (Carl de Vogt), the leader of the gang, holds a RIC revolver in the climactic scene. Only a single gun is seen at a time, so very likely a single prop is reused. This revolver appears to be a Belgian British Constabulary version of RIC, with the faceted barrel and the cylinder of the pattern that was used on Belgian produced Bulldogs.
In the final scene Muller and Schmitz carry unidentified long guns. Judging by the full-length handguards and the shape of the top barrel band, these are muskets or early rifles, possibly military guns converted for hunting.
