The World Moves On is a 1934 movie directed by John Ford. Two families, cotton merchants in England and America, with branches in France and Prussia swear to stand by each other in a belief that a great business firmly established in four countries will be able to withstand even such another calamity as the Napoleonic Wars from which Europe is slowly recovering. Then many years later, along comes World War One and the years that follow, to test the businesses.
The following weapons were used in the film The World Moves On:
Handguns
Flintlock Pistol
Richard Girard (Franchot Tone) and a Duallist (Walter McGrail) use Flintlock Pistols in 1825.
MAS Mle. 1892
A French officer in a trench (André Cheron) is briefly seen with an Mle 1892 Revolver.
Chamelot-Delvigne Model 1873
Another French officer is armed with a Chamelot-Delvigne Model 1873.
Rifles
Berthier Mle. 1907/15
The war scenes directed by John Ford contain Berthier Mle 1907-15 rifles that are used by Richard, Henri Girard (Raul Roulien) and Dixie (Stepin Fetchit). This rifle is first seen in 1914 when the war broke out which is an anachronism.
Lebel 1886
Since this movie contains many fight scenes reused from the French 1932 movie Wooden Crosses, other French soldiers can be seen with Lebel 1886 rifles which are not used by characters of Ford's movie.
Mauser Gewehr 1898
German soldiers are armed with Gewehr 1898s.
Mauser Karabiner 98AZ
Also, the scene with the Karabiner 98AZ of the German sniper team in the village is taken from the 1932 French movie.
Machine Guns
Maxim MG 08
Maxim MG08s are used by German soldiers.
Hotchkiss M1914
Some French infantrymen can be seen transporting Hotchkiss M1914 Machine Guns across the battlefield. These scenes were also not shot by Ford.
Browning MG
An unknown, possibly an early variant of the Browning M1919 is used by French soldiers.
Hand Grenades
Unknown Grenades
Unknown types of grenades are used by French soldiers.
Stiehlhandgranate
The same Stielhandgrante from the French movie is seen.
Other
Canon de 155mm C mle. 1915 Saint-Chamond
A Canon de 155 mm C modèle 1915 Saint-Chamond howitzer is seen twice towed by horses.
Canon de 155mm GPF
Canon de 75mm mle. 1897
Canon de 155mm C, mle 1917 Schneider
Trivia
