The following weapons were used in the film The Quest:

Rifles

Mauser Rifle

Mauser rifles are used by both Dobbs' men and Turkish smugglers during the boarding combat. By the lenght and general shape they resemble Karabiner 98k rifles but they are equipped with Lange-Visier sights. Maybe fake sights are fitted to 98k rifles in order to make them to look like Gewehr 98s.

Karabiner 98k - 7.92x57mm Mauser

Mauser Gewehr 1898 - 7.92x57mm Mauser

Trivia

Cannon

A naval cannon is mounted on Lord Dobbs' junk. Though it produces muzzle flame and smoke, it seems to be a mockup rather than a real gun.
