FN Model 1910

Gustave (Richard Katz), the waiter in the mountaintop hotel in Switzerland and the accomplice of crime mastermind Marrascaud, carries an FN Model 1910 pistol when he impersonates Swiss policeman Lt. Drouet.

FN Model 1910 - .380 ACP

Gustave suggests Poirot take his pistol...

...but Poirot refuses.

A closeup of the pistol.

When unmasked, Gustave aims at Poirot, but the real Drouet shoots the pistol out of Gustave's hand with his own pistol.

Walther P5 Compact (?)

When Gustave's pistol falls into the precipice, it switches from an FN 1910 to another gun that looks somewhat like a Walther P5 Compact but may be a mere toy gun.

For comparison: Walther P5 Compact - 9x19mm

Luger P08

Schwartz (Tom Wlaschiha), a hotel guest who turns out to be the real Lt. Drouet, uses a Luger P08. Lugers are also seen in hands of other Swiss policemen, including Inspector Lementeuil (Nicholas McGaughey).

Luger P08 - 9x19mm. This is a blank adapted movie gun.

Astra Cub

Alice Cunningham (Eleanor Tomlinson), who turns out to be crime mastermind Marrascaud, holds an Astra Cub pocket pistol in the climactic scene. This pistol is anachronistic for late 1930s when the story is set.

Astra Cub Model 2000 Nickel - .22 short

Alice Cunningham aims at her mother, Countess Vera Rossakoff (Orla Brady).

Harold Waring (Rupert Evans) makes an attempt to disarm Alice.

The pistol is seen on the floor.

Walther PPK

Dr. Heinrich Lutz (Simon Callow), another of Marrascaud's accomplices, uses a Walther PPK to take hostage ballet dancer Katrina Samoushenka (Fiona O'Shaughnessy).

Early Waffenamt marked Walther PPK. Note the differences: orange bakelite grips, lanyard ring, smaller rear sight, grooved top, and irregular front - 7.65x17mm Auto (.32 ACP)

A showdown: Alice Cunningham aims at Vera Rossakoff, Dr. Lutz aims at Katrina Samoushenka, and Lt. Drouet in turn holds Lutz at gunpoint.
