The Weapon is a British 1956 crime thriller directed by Val Guest. Street urchins find a pistol in the rubble of a destroyed building in post-war London. A boy accidentally kills another one and goes on the run. This gun turns out to be a clue in a a ten-year-old murder case.
The following weapons were used in the film The Weapon:
Pistols
Mauser Model 1910
A pocket Mauser Model 1910 is a gun, found by Erik Jenner (Jon Whiteley).
1910 Mauser Pocket Pistol, pre-1914 version - 6.35x16mmSR
Eric holds the pistol, partially immured in a piece of concrete.
The grip is seen when Eric carries the pistol in his pocket. The slide serration and the logo on grip match the original 1910 model of pre-1914 manufacture.

A promotional image shows Erik Jenner holding the pistol.
Revolvers
Webley RIC
US Army Capt. Mark Andrews (Steve Cochran) owns a nickel plated compact Webley RIC.
Webley RIC "Model 86" - .455 Webley. This version of RIC is very similar to the screen gun.

Iver Johnson Safety Automatic Hammerless
When a criminal Joshua Henry (George Cole) pursues Erik Jenner in search of the pistol, he is armed with a hammerless top-break revolver. Iver Johnson Safety Automatic seems to be a best guess, based on the form of the frame.
Iver Johnson 3rd Model Safety Automatic Hammerless revolver - .38 S&W
