The following weapons are seen in 'Midsomer Murders:


Revolvers

Webley .38 Mk IV

Webley .38 Mk IV is a weapon of several murders in Ring Out Your Dead. The bullet from this revolver was identified as "Enfield .38", but the shape of the front sight allows to identify the gun as Webley. The story tells that there were two such revolvers but supposedly only one prop is used in the movie.

Webley .455 Mk VI

Webley .455 Mk VI is seen in Shot at Dawn both in the flashback scene that takes place during the WW1 and in modern time. The revolver was carried by Lt. Duggie Hammond (Josh Stanley) in 1916, then it was preserved in Hammond's family museum and used as the weapon of murder in modern day. The police expert correctly identyfied it as "a .455 service revolver produced about 1916".
