Sherlock Holmes (also known as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes and The Cases of Sherlock Holmes) is a British BBC TV series about the adventures of the great detective. It was released in two seasons: 1964-1965, in B&W, starring Douglas Wilmer as Sherlock Holmes and Nigel Stock as Dr. Watson; and in 1968, in color, starring Peter Cushing as Sherlock Holmes and Nigel Stock as Dr. Watson.
The current page is based on DVD release that contains 5 episodes (one in 2 parts) from 1968 release.
The following weapons were used in the television series Sherlock Holmes:
Revolvers
Adams Revolver
Dr. Watson (Nigel Stock) uses an Adams Revolver in "The Hound of the Baskervilles" and "The Sign of Four". It appear to be a Mk II or Mk III model.
Chamelot-Delvigne style revolver
A revolver, similar to Chamelot-Delvigne Model 1873 but with somewhat different appearance, is used by Dr. Watson (Nigel Stock) in "A Study in Scarlet" (in following episodes Watson has an Adams revolver). Possibly this is not an original French military revolver but some commercial version of French or Belgian origin.
Sherlock Holmes (Peter Cushing) takes Watson's revolver who chases the mysterious lady, escaping with the ring.
Rifles
Enfield Pattern 1856 Short Rifle
Soldiers, patrolling the countryside in "The Hound of the Baskervilles", carry percussion cap rifles, most likely Enfield Pattern 1856 Short Rifles (an outdated weapon for 1889 when the story is set).
A cavalryman on railway station carries a rifle. The space between the top barrel band and the sling swivel is too large for Enfield Pattern 1856 Cavalry Carbine but looks similar to Short Rifle.
Shotguns
Double Barreled Shotgun
Several double barreled shotguns are seen in McCarthy's farm in "The Boscombe Valley Mystery". James McCarthy (Nick Tate) takes one of these guns.
Other Weapons
Hebel Flare Pistol Model 1894
A Hebel Flare Pistol Model 1894 (or some other very similar flare pistol) is seen in hands of John Turner (John Tate) in "The Boscombe Valley Mystery". Possibly this flare pistol is used as a substitution for single shot pistols of late 19th century.
