The Heroes of Telemark(1965)

Colt New Service

Dr. Rolf Pedersen (Kirk Douglas) can be seen using the Colt New Service in the movie. It is defintely a large caliber model. Either 45 Colt or .455 Eley/Webley.Looking at the ejector rod and the barrel leads me to believe it's a pre-1909 New Service.

Model 1909 Colt Army Revolver - .45 LC. This model is stamped "Property of U.S. Government" under barrel and "M1909" on front bottom of grip strap. Grips not original - US issue bore plain uncheckered walnut.

Walther P-38

Dr. Pedersen (Kirk Douglas) also uses a Walther P38 in the movie.

Straud (Richard Harris) stands guard with a Sten. The movie was filmed on location in Norway during the winter. So it really is as cold as it looks!

Lee Enfield No. 4

It appears that the commandoes are also armed with the Lee Enfield No. 4 rifle.

Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk.I - .303 British. This was the main battle rifle of British and Commonwealth forces during World War Two, however, it was supplemented heavily with the older Lee Enfield No.1 MK.III. First placed in service with the British military in 1941.
