The following weapons were used in the film The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson: The Treasures of Agra (Priklyucheniya Sherloka Holmsa i doktora Vatsona: Sokrovishcha Agry):

Webley .455 Mk VI

A Webley .455 Mk VI revolver is used by Sherlock Holmes (Vasily Livanov). This revolver doesn't fit for 1880s-90s when the story takes place; apparently Mk VI stands in for the earlier Webley top-break models.

Webley Mk. VI - .455 Webley.

Reichsrevolver M1879

Inspector Lestrade (Boryslav Brondukov) carries a Reichsrevolver M1879. This wiped to nearly white revolver appears to be the same prop, used in numerous Lenfilm productions.

Nagant M1895

Police constables are armed with Nagant M1895 revolvers during the arrest of Jonathan Small. Of course, this weapon doesn't fit for the British police of that (and of any other) time.

Nagant M1895 - 7.62x38N. This is a post-1930 version.

Note that one of the Nagants has its ejector rod extended on full length which is common for well-worn Nagants.
