The Prisoner of Zenda (1952)

The Prisoner of Zenda is a 1952 color remake of the 1937 adaptation of Anthony Hope's novel directed by Richard Thorpe and starring Stewart Granger and James Mason. The film reused the shooting script and score of the 1937, with very few modifications, and even some of the same setups, albeit in color.

The following weapons were used in the film The Prisoner of Zenda:

Webley Mk VI

The Webley Mk VI is the most common revolver seen in the film.
