Sherlock Holmes: A Game Of Shadows (2011)

The following firearms can be seen in the film Sherlock Holmes: A Game Of Shadows:

Mauser C96/ M712 Schnellfeuer

Sherlock Holmes (Robert Downey Jr.) loads a Mauser C96 in the trailer. He can also be seen holding it in several promotion photos. The use of this gun in the movie is rather anachronistic as its set in 1892 and the C96 was first produced in 1896.

In a scene in an arms factory the pistol is introduced as being select fire and having a detachable box magazine making it the M712 Schnellfeuer. This furthers the anachronism as this variety was not introduced until 1927 for the Spanish made variety and 1923 for the Mauser produced design.
