Unidentified pistols

I have problems with pistols in this movie. Please help to identify them.

The first and second screenshots show the same pistol. It look similar to Browning 1900 but I'm not shure. The third may be the same pistol and may be not...

Thanks in advance for any ideas! Greg-Z 04:07, 22 October 2011 (CDT)

I think the pistol on the first and second shot is the M/19 "Spanish". Ive added a website, so you can verify for yourself. http://www.jaegerplatoon.net/PISTOLS3.htm - G36Ghost.

Thank you! I look on the spanish pistol but it seems to me that "Kramer's pistol" is not M/19. It has more sharp lines, not curved as M/19 is. Greg-Z 11:48, 22 October 2011 (CDT)

My main reason to consider it an M/19 is the position of the serrations on the slide, as well as the positioning of the grips. If you take a look at the 1st screen shot they seem to resemble those of the M/19. But still, I'll keep looking.-G36Ghost

I think you are right that it is spanish pistol. Maybe one of many copies of FN-Browning models: Astra M200 or Walman, or Gloria M1913, or Hudson, or one of lot of 6.35 or 7.65 pistols made in Spain in 1910s-30s. So it will remain undentified, I suppose. :( Greg-Z 10:09, 23 October 2011 (CDT)
Here is some more cropped screenshots with this pistol.

Maybe it will be useful. Greg-Z 10:40, 23 October 2011 (CDT)

Beretta 1915 ID

Anyone else think the Beretta 1915 is actually a Mauser Pocket Pistol of some sort? It lacks the distinctive slide stop which is on the 1915, it has a fully exposed barrel rather that the 1915 which has the "bridge" at the front sight, and it looks like the barrel protrudes too far. Also, it has whatever that thing under the front of the frame of a Mauser Pocket Pistol is. --commando552 17:57, 9 July 2012 (CDT)

You are absolutely right, thanks! It is pocket Mauser, and may be the same Model 1910 pistol that was used in another polish movie of the same director Juliusz Machulski, Deja Vu. and most likely Model 1914. So Beretta M15 is going away as Vabank was the only entry... Greg-Z 23:18, 9 July 2012 (CDT)
