The Scout (Der Scout; full German title Der Scout - Tausend Mustangs und ein Hauptling) is a 1983 East German-Mongolian Western ("Red Western") movie directed by Konrad Petzold and Dshamjangijn Buntar and starring Gojko Mitic as White Feather, the chief of Nez Perces tribe in 1877. White Feather takes a mission to return horses of his tribe, taken away by US cavalry. In order to complete his mission he volunteered to be a scout in Col. Howard's unit. This is the last appearance of Gojko Mitic in DEFA Westerns, started in 1966 in The Sons of Great Bear (but not last his appearance in Western genre).
The following weapons were used in the film The Scout (Der Scout):
Revolvers
Colt Single Action Army Cavalry Model
Colt Single Action Army Cavalry Model revolvers are used by US cavalry officers, notably Maj. Brannigan (Milan Beli) and Col. Howard (Manfred Zetzsche). Probably a single prop is reused.

Pistols
Double Barreled Percussion Cap Pistol
A girl of Cayuse tribe (Battsetseg Natsagdorj) steals a double barreled percussion cap pistol from the vagon of cattleman Parker (Helmut Schreiber).
Alexander Henry Howdah - .577 pistol. White the sceen gun seems not large enough for real
Howdah Pistol, it has very similar outlook.
The Cayuse girl steals the pistol from Parker's belongings. The pistol has langyard ring on the grip.
Slightly blurry (due to fast motion) view of the pistol allows to see the ramrod under the barrels.
Cayuse girl aims her gun at White Feather.

Sigle Shot Breech Loaging Pistol
In one scene Lt. Brooks (Giso Weißbach) holds a large handgun that appears to be a kind of single shot, breech loading pistol of mid-19th century.
An example of single shot, breech loading pistol of roughly appropriate era: 1880s Belgian manufactured Auguste Francotte
Pistolet de Tir de Salon pistol - 9mm Flobert rimfire.
Rifles
Winchester Model 1892
Out of time Winchester Model 1892 Saddle Ring Carbines, standing for earlier Winchester models, are seen in hands of several US cavalrymen, notably Pvts. Charles Randall (Hartmut Beer) and McGoun (Roland Seidler). White Feather (Gojko Mitic) uses McGoun's Winchester. Only a single piece is seen in a time, so probably a single prop is reused.
Note: see additional images on talk page.

Martini Action Schuetzen Rifle
Some Nez Perces warriors are armed with single shot Martini Schuetzen rifles, popular German target and hunting guns.
Martini-Stahl system
Schuetzen Rifle - 8.15x46mm R
A Nez Perce raises a Martini-Stahl rifle (in center).
Aydt Rifle
Aydt system Schuetzen rifles are also seen.

Mauser Schebenbüchse Rifle
Cattleman Soames Parker (Helmut Schreiber) has a rifle that appears to be a Mauser Scheibenbüchse, bolt-action target rifle based on Mauser Gewehr 1871 system.
Mauser
Schebenbüchse target rifle - 9.3x57R
Parker raises his rifle. Bolt handle is seen.
Parker holds his rifle. The curly trigger guard isn't a lever, as it is on Martini and Aydt
Schuetzen rifles; the piece on the stock that resembles safety button is a base for a diopter visor.
Various rifles
Rifles of unclear models are seen in hands of Nez Perces warriors and US cavalrymen. They are possibly also Schuetzen rifles, but they are seen only partially or too unclear to make a strict guess.
Two rifle barrels are seen at the left.
McGoun (at the right) holds a
Schuetzen rifle in the scene when White Feather takes the oath.
Another view of the same scene. McGoun's rifle looks different from most popular Martini and Aydt systems.
A cavalryman holds a rifle. The breech isn't seen so it's impossible to identify the system.
