  • The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson: The Twentieth Century Approaches (1986; two episodes, based on The Adventure of the Engineer's Thumb, The Adventure of the Second Stain, The Adventure of the Bruce-Partington Plans and His Last Bow)


The following weapons were used in the film The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson:


Revolvers

Nagant M1895

Russian Nagant M1895 revolver is used by Sherlock Holmes (Vasily Livanov) in the first episode of the first movie ("Acquaintance") when he "draws" on the wall by shooting Queen Victoria's monogram ("VR" - "Victoria Regina"). In this episode the revolver is incorrectly called ".38". In the first movie Nagant 1895 is also used by Inspectors Lestrade (Boryslav Brondukov) and Gregson (Igor Dmitriev). British constables also carry Nagants in various scenes.

Nagant M1895 Revolver - 7.62x38N cartridge (aka 7.62 Nagant ammo). This example was dated 1939 manufacture and was a War time Issued weapon. Note the angular front sight which was used from 1930s.

Holmes holds his Nagant in the same scene.
Inspector Gregson holds his Nagant while finding the body of Joseph Stangerson in "Bloody Inscription".
Constables hold at gunpoint Jonathan Small (Sergey Shakurov) with their Nagant revolvers in The Treasures of Agra.

British Constabulary revolver

A Belgian copy of Webley RIC revolver known as "British Constabulary" is Sherlock Holmes' main weapon in Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson and The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. The same revolver is Dr. Watson's (Vitaly Solomin) main weapon in The Hound of the Baskervilles, The Treasures of Agra and The Twentieth Century Approaches. British Constabulary is also briefly seen in hands of Inspector Lestrade in "Hunt for the Tiger" episode and in one scene in The Hound of the Baskervilles. In the last case Lestrade use Constabulary revolver instead of Reichsrevolver M1879 (which is seen in his hands before and after this scene) most likely because he had to fire at the Hound of the Baskervilles, and Reichsrevolver couldn't shoot due to some reason.

Custom Vetterli-based Rifle

In The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson ("Hunt for the Tiger" episode) Colonel Sebastian Moran (Nikolai Kryukov) appears with the weapon that is described as "specially designed airgun". This weapon is "played" by custom rifle based on Vetterli system. It can be identified by the unique shape of its trigger guard. The barrel of the rifle is movie prop. It is hard to say which model of Vetterli was used to create this weapon: it can be original Swiss Vetterli or Italian Vetterli-Vitali model (the last were supplied to Russia during World War I).
