Old Shatterhand (alternative English title Apache's Last Battle) is a 1964 Eurowestern directed by Hugo Fregonese. It is the third movie in Winnetou film series, based on the novels by Karl May.


The following weapons were used in the film Old Shatterhand:


Revolvers

Colt 1851 Navy

Colt 1851 Navy revolvers (probably modern replicas) are used as service sidearms by most US Cavalry officers and NCOs, notably Capt. Bradley (Guy Madison) and Corp. Bush (Gustavo Rojo). In several scenes Old Shatterhand (Lex Barker) and Sam Hawkens (Ralf Wolter) briefly hold Colt Navy revolvers.

Arminius HW-1S Revolver

Dixon (Rik Battaglia), Joe Burker (Mirko Ellis) and other brigands, Sheriff Brandon (Nikola Popovic) and some US Cavalry NCOs, including Sgt. Flanner (Andrea Scotti), are armed with 5-shot Arminius revolvers with 6" barrels. It appear to be the same long barreled version of HW-1S signal revolver that is widely used in other Winnetou movies.

Shotguns

Double Barreled Shotgun

Double Barreled Shotgun is the favoured weapon of Sam Hawkens (Ralf Wolter). Some Dixon's brigands and Apache and Comanche warriors also use shotguns.

Rifles and Muskets

Winchester Model 1892

Old Shatterhand's (Lex Barker) main gun is the Winchester Model 1892 rifle. Winchester 1894 rifles are also seen in hands of Paloma (Daliah Lavi) and numerous US Cavalry soldiers, Dixon's brigands and Apache and Comanche warriors.

Kipplaufbuchse Single Shot Rifle

Single shot top-break hunting rifles are widely used by Apache and Comanche warriors. Due to a continuity error, Old Shatterhand (Lex Barker) holds a single shot rifle instead of his Winchester Model 1894 in one scene. Such rifles were (and still are) produced by various manufacturers in Europe and America, often referred by the German term Kipplaufbuchse.

1862 Richmond Carbine

Most US Cavalry soldiers are armed with percussion cap muskets. These guns are probably modern replicas of 1862 Richmond Carbine.

Percussion Cap Musket

Some muskets with longer barrels are also seen.

Percussion Cap Hunting Musket

In one scene aged Apache Lata-Nalgut (Milivoje Popovic-Mavid) who serves as Paloma's guard holds the gun that appears to be percussion cap hunting musket.

Lata-Nalgut watches with the gun in hands as Old Shatterhand approaches Paloma's house.

Trivia

During the battle for Fort Grant the soldiers use several field cannons against Apaches. These movie props are Napoleonic-style guns on simple wooden carriages, probably standing for 12-pounder guns, widely used by US Army in mid-XIX century. When firing, the cannons recoil just as real guns, and they are seen rammed.

Cannons are deployed on the walls of Fort Grant.
