I can't tell from the image, but having watched the show during its original I always thought these were Astra 600 in 9mm Luger. At that time, the 600 was was plentiful and cheap( I remember ads for $25) Tecolote 12:17 May 29 2013

I'm in the tail end of Season 1, and I haven't come across any yet. According to the page, the 9mm ones have a lanyard ring rather than a heel mag release. I'll keep an eye out for it. --Funkychinaman (talk) 12:25, 28 May 2013 (EDT)

Discussion

Unknown Mauser rifle

I ran across a weird Mauser in two consecutive episodes. The show had previously used K98ks, except this has a straight bolt handle, BUT, it has a cutout in the stock as if it was meant to have a bent bolt handle. Are bolts interchangeable? Is this just some weird hybrid? It doesn't appear to be a one-off. --Funkychinaman (talk) 20:30, 27 May 2013 (EDT)

I looked on some Mauser forums, and apparently the Russians reconditioned a bunch of captured K98ks with straight bolt handles. I don't know about their availability in the late sixties though. --Funkychinaman (talk) 19:31, 29 May 2013 (EDT)

Note the straight bolt handle.

Note the cutout in the stock to accommodate a bent bolt handle.

The same type of rifle in the next episode.

Unknown pistol

Senko Brobin (Francis Lederer) takes Polya's (Kurt Kreuger) sidearm to crush some sugar cubes in "A Cube of Sugar" (S01E27). At first I thought it was a Colt Pocket Hammerless, but it has curved serrations, and the grip is too long. Any thoughts? --Funkychinaman (talk) 19:49, 30 May 2013 (EDT)

Looking back, I think Cinnamon had the same pistol in "Fakeout" (S01E12). I had assumed that it was a Colt Pocket Hammerless here as well. Notice the grip running all the way up to the slide. There's also some sort of decocker/takedown lever/etc in front of the grips. It looks a bit larger than a Colt as well.--Funkychinaman (talk) 14:27, 31 May 2013 (EDT)

It just occurred to me, could this be some sort of fake gun? In episode 12, Cinnamon drops it down some stairs, and in 26, a guy uses it to grind up some sugar cubes. --Funkychinaman (talk) 14:29, 31 May 2013 (EDT)

Cinnamon points her Colt at Anastas Poltroni/Ted Carson in "Fakeout" (S01E12). Note the length of the grips, and possibly a lanyard ring near the heel.

A grainy shot of the dropped pistol in "Fakeout" (S01E12).

A closeup of the grip. The serrations are curved, unlike on a Colt Pocket Hammerless. Note that the grips also run all the way up to the slide, unlike a Colt Pocket Hammerless.

A shot of the grip. Once again, note the length of the grips.

The only view we get of the entire pistol, albeit not a great view.

Found it. It's a variant of the Star Ruby. --Funkychinaman (talk) 14:43, 31 May 2013 (EDT)

It's hard to pin down which variant, since there are so many. I think it's one of the seven shot variants, since the grip doesn't extend past Cinnamon's hand. I just took my best guess. --Funkychinaman (talk) 17:20, 31 May 2013 (EDT)

Colt Cobra

A closeup of Vito Scalisi's DS as he fires it next to Rollin's ear in "The Frame" (S01E17).

If you look closely at the barrel of the gun being fired next to Rollin's ear (S01E17)you can the barrel marking "COBRA", also note the frame color is a little plum colored,indicating the the alloy frame of the Colt Cobra. The same plum color shows on the gun being pointed at Willy (S01E06)so it's probably the same gun. I only noticed this because of the high quality of these screencaps.---Tecolote, 15th June 2013

Where's the second one? --Funkychinaman (talk) 18:37, 15 June 2013 (EDT)

The first picture under Dectective Special where a Casino guard is pointing one at Willy, and I'm only basing it on that plummy frame color, which is noticable on both Colt and S&W alloy frames in person,so it's your call. again,great screencaps.---Tecolote ,15 June 2013
