The following weapons were used in the film Agatha Christie's Miss Marple:
In the final scene in "The Body in the Library" Detective Inspector Slack (David Horovitch) and Detective Sergeant Lake (Ian Brimble) are armed with Webley .38 Mk IV revolvers. Slack also gives a Webley revolver to Conway Jefferson (Andrew Cruickshank) for self-defence against the supposed murderer. In the final scene in "4.50 From Paddington" Dr. John Quimper (Andrew Burt) draws a Webley .38 Mk IV when he tries to escape after being unmasked.
A Webley .38 Mk IV "Pocket" model is used by Detective Inspector Slack (David Horovitch) in the climactic scene in "The Murder at the Vicarage". In the same scene Detective Sergeant Lake (Ian Brimble) holds a short-barreled revolver that is supposedly also a Mk IV "Pocket", possibly same prop reused.
Colonel Arthur Bantry (Moray Watson) holds a Double Barreled Shotgun in "The Body in the Library". In "4.50 From Paddington" Harold Crackenthorpe (Bernard Brown) holds a double barreled shotgun when he goes hunting. In "A Pocketful of Rye" a gardener (uncredited) in Fortescue's estate uses a double barreled shotgun to shoot birds.
