Rifles

Remington Model 14 1/2

Moriarty's henchman (Walter Kingsford), credited as "Gunman at apartment window", uses a Remington Model 14 pump action rifle in a planned (but failed) attempt on Holmes. The magazine tube has same length with the barrel that allows to identify the rifle as Model 14 1/2, a sporting modification of Model 14.

Trivia

A typical British "rhomboidal" tank is used as a monumentum on a London square. Possibly this is a Mk IV as many tanks of this model were presented for display to towns and cities in Britain after the Great War.
