Toy cap revolver

In a flashback scene in "The Sittaford Mystery" (S02E04), set in 1927, Clive Trevelyan (Timothy Dalton) kills his companion Prof. Percehouse in archeologist expedition in Egypt. His revolver looks like some top-break model with nickel finish but due to a large flash from the hammer the gun can be identified as a kind of toy cap gun. It is used probably because the gunshot is made point-blank to the actor.

Clive Trevelyan holds the revolver to shoot Percehouse.

Note the large flash from the hammer.

Unidentified revolver

Edgar Lawson (Tom Payne) holds a nickel plated top-break revolver in "They Do It with Mirrors" (S04E03). Generally this gun looks similar to Smith & Wesson or Iver Johnson guns but it has different hinge and a very long extractor shroud under the barrel, similar to Smith & Wesson Model 3 but uncommon for compact top-break revolvers.

A close view of the barrel. Note the teardop shaped (rather than round) hinge and long extractor shroud.
