Smith & Wesson Victory Model

Several characters use Smith & Wesson Victory Model revolvers. The appearance of this revolver in a film taking place in the 1800s is extremely anachronistic due to the fact the Victory Model was only made during World War II.

Röhm RG34

Hilton (Ilija Ivezic) appears to be armed with a Röhm RG34 revolver. Its appearance is also anachronistic, although it may be standing in for the somewhat similar looking Colt Single Action Army.

Rifles

Custom "Henry's 25-wounds rifle"

Old Shatterhand (Lex Barker) is armed with one of his signature weapons, a "Henry 25-shot Carbine" (Henrystutzen, as it is called in the original novels), made by Mr. Henry, a fictional gunsmith from St. Louis. The screen gun is a custom prop, made specially for the movies, apparently built around a Gasser M1870.
