The Count of Monte Cristo (Le comte de Monte-Cristo) is a 1954 French-Italian two-part screen adaptation of the famous novel by Alexandre Dumas, directed by Robert Vernay and starring Jean Marais.
This page is for the 1954 French film starring Jean Marais. For the 1961 French-Italian film starring Louis Jourdan, see here. For the 1975 British film starring Richard Chamberlain, see here. For the 1979 French mini-series starring Jacques Weber, see here. For the 1998 French miniseries starring Gerard Depardieu, see here. For the 2002 English-language film starring James Caviezel, see here.
The following weapons were used in the film The Count of Monte Cristo (Le comte de Monte-Cristo):
Pistols
Pinfire Pistol
Count Fernand de Morcerf (Roger Pigaut) commits suicide with a single shot breech loading pistol, probably a pinfire gun. It is out of time for 1837 when the scene is set.
Breech Loading Pistol
In the German release of the movie this scene is re-filmed in odrer to replace a newspaper with French text to the one with German text, and a different pistol is used. It is also a breech loading top-break gun, but not a pinfire model.
Chatellerault Cavalry Model 1833
When Count of Monte Cristo (Jean Marais) trains on shooting range in his house, he uses several percussion cap pistols. Two of these guns look like Chatellerault Cavalry Model 1833.
Percussion Duelling Pistol
One more pistol, seen in hands of Count of Monte Cristo, is a Percussion Dueling Pistol.
Percussion Cap Pistol
Jeweller Joannès (Louis Seigner), who stops at Caderousse's inn, puts a pair of Percussion Cap Pistols on nightstand.
Flintlock Pistol
Several Flintlock Pistols are seen in Count of Monte Cristo's house.
Muskets
Percussion Cap Musket
In several scenes French soldiers carry percussion cap muskets. They appear to be Chatellerault Mle 1822 or St.Etienne Mle 1842. Both models looks almost no different except for details of the lock (Mle 1822 muskets are flintlocks converted to percussion cap).
Percussion Cap Carbine
When Edmond Dantès (Jean Marais) explores the island of Monte-Cristo, he is armed with a percussion cap carbine, with shorter stock in comparison with infantry muskets. Similar gun is seen in hands of Jacopo (Folco Lulli). The length of the gun and shape and position of barrel bands allow to guess that the carbine can be French Mle 1777 An IX model cavalry flintlock carbine, converted to percussion cap, most likely in 1830s.
Flintlock Musket
In several scenes French soldiers carry Charleville flintlock muskets.
