The following weapons were used in Season 1 of the television series Endeavour:
WARNING! THIS PAGE CONTAINS MAJOR SPOILERS!
Revolvers
Webley .455 Mk VI
A Webley .455 Mk VI revolver is a murder weapon in "Pilot" (S01E00). A flashback scene reveals the murder, showing the gun in hands of Rosalind Stromming (Flora Montgomery). In "Home" (S01E04) DI Fred Thursday (Roger Allam) takes his wartime revolver when gangsters threaten his daughter.
Webley Mk VI - .455 Webley
A revolver is seen next to the dead body of Miles Percival (Harry Kershaw) in "Pilot". Dr. DeBryn correctly call the revolver "Webley Mark 6". ".455 caliber", replies DC Morse.
In the flashback scene, showing the murder, Miles Percival teaches Rosalind Stromming to shoot the revolver.

Webley .455 Mk V
A Webley .455 Mk V (Mk IV is also possible but less credible) is a murder weapon in "Girl" (S01E01). Flashback scenes of two murders show the gun in hands of Wallace Clark (Albert Welling). Millicent Coke Norris (Poppy Miller) uses a Webley Mk V for several murders in "Home" (S01E04).

She reaches her revolver in the final scene.
Colt Detective Special
A compact revolver that belongs to Sir Edmund Sloan (Jonathan Hyde) is seen in "Girl" (S01E01). It is seen only partially but can be identified as a Colt Detective Special. The grips are also Colt, but of a design not introduced until 1972.
Colt Detective Special 1st Gen with Round Butt - .38 Special
The revolver is partially seen in Sir Edmund Sloan's desk drawer. The revolver has Colt-style cylinder release.
DC Morse finds the revolver and the box of .38 Special ammo in Pamela Walters' (Sophie Stuckey) room.
Astra Cadix
A snub nose revolver is found in Percy Malleson's (James Merry) lanchbox in "Rocket" (S01E03). The shape of the frame and trigger guard resemble Astra revolvers; Astra Cadix seems to be a decent guess (and it fits for 1960s).
Astra Cadix, 2" barrel - .38 Special
DS Peter Jakes (Jack Laskey) examines the revolver.
Colt Python
During the arrest of gangster Vince Kasper in "Home" (S01E04) one of police officers holds a Colt Python (a strange choice as Pythons were never issued to British police).
Colt Python with 4" Barrel and factory wood grips - .357 Magnum
A Colt Python is seen in hands of plainclothes police officer.
Smith & Wesson revolvers
In the opening scene in "Home" (S01E04) DC Endeavour Morse (Shaun Evans) and several other police officers are seen on shooting range. They use revolvers that appear to be some Smith & Wesson model with target sights.

Trivia
A fictional surface-to-air missile, named Standfast Mk 2, is seen in several scenes on munitions factory in "Rocket" (S01E03). The general outlook of the missile is based on such real life British SAMs as Bristol Bloodhound and English Electric Thunderbird. The storyline of purchasing Standfast missiles by a fictional Middle East state is also a reference to Thunderbird that was purchased by Saudi Arabia in 1967.
