__TOC__
= Revolvers =
== St. Etienne Mle 1892 ==
Alphonse Chagnolle (Renaud Rutten) carries a St. Etienne Mle 1892 revolver when he is disarmed by Inspector Antoine Jouin (Jérémie Laheurte). An Mle 1892 revolver is a service sidearm of Colonel Gabriel Sabran de Ponteves (Christophe Montenez). Mle 1892 revolvers are also seen among the guns, distributed to the members of the Ligue Antisemitique.
== St. Etienne Mle 1892 Snub Nose ==
What appears to be a snub nose version of St. Etienne Mle 1892 revolver with nickel finish is used by hitman Gustave Pertaud (Noam Morgensztern). The barrel of the revolver is cut down for about a half of its original length; the grip also seems to be shortened.
== Chamelot-Delvigne Model 1873 ==
In the scene in the Count Sabran's house, Police Inspector Guichard (Renaud Hezeques) holds a revolver that is supposed to be a Chamelot-Delvigne Model 1873 or maybe its close relative, Swiss Ordonnanzrevolver 1872 that is very similar in design but is slightly larger and with difference in details.
== Smith & Wesson "Wells Fargo" Schofield ==
Jules Guérin (Hubert Delattre), the leader of the Ligue Antisemitique, holds a Smith & Wesson "Wells Fargo" Schofield revolver that he uses in an attempt to threaten Prefect of Police Louis Lépine.
== Bulldog Revolver ==
Maman Guérin (Anne Benoît) hands over a Bulldog revolver to her younger son Louis (Anthony Paliotti) who has a mission to kill Prefect Lépine.
== Velo-Dog Revolver ==
Madame Lépine (Valérie Dashwood) covertly takes a Velo-Dog Revolver from Bertillon's laboratory and uses it to shoot at Commissaire Puybaraud. This is a five-shot, large caliber version of Velo-Dog with Belgian Bulldog style cylinder and faceted barrel. Such revolvers are on the border between Bulldog and Velo-Dog and can be classified in different ways.
== Enfield No. 2 Mk. I* ==
What appears to be an anachronistic Enfield No. 2 Mk. I* revolver with bobbed hammer is one of the revolvers, distributed to the members of the Ligue Antisemitique.
== Webley RIC ==
One more of the revolvers, distributed to the members of the Ligue Antisemitique, is supposed to be a Webley RIC, possibly a No.1 New Model.
== Nagant M1895 ==
One more of the revolvers, distributed to the members of the Ligue Antisemitique, is a Nagant model, most likely a Nagant M1895, possibly the original Belgian model.
== Unidentified revolvers ==
= Pistols =
== Mauser C96 ==
One of the members of the Ligue Antisemitique carries a Mauser C96 pistol. The exact model of the C96 is difficult to determine, but the shape of the base of the barrel allows to guess that this is a Cone Hammer, just right for the time of action.
== Percussion Pocket Pistol ==
Jeannen Chauvin (Eugénie Derouand), one of the first female lawyers in France, carries a Percussion Pocket Pistol in several scenes.
= Jules Guérin's Gun Collection =
A number of handguns can be seen in Jules Guérin's office. They are seen very unclear and mostly can be identified only marginally.
From top to bottom: 1 - a revolver that bears resemblance with some of Adams models; 2 - supposedly a Chamelot-Delvigne Model 1873; 3 - a revolver that is supposed to be some cap and ball Colt model, like 1851 Navy or 1860 Army; 4 - a military style percussion cap pistol, possibly a Chatellerault Cavalry Model 1822 or Chatellerault Navy Model 1837; 5 - a dueling style percussion cap pistol.
In another scene the guns in Guérin's office look somewhat different, probably due to a continuity error. The two revolvers on top (1 and 2) now look more like long cap and ball Colt-style guns, and two percussion cap pistols at the bottom (4 and 5) are of the same length, unlike what was seen earlier. The long gun to the left (6) that now is seen slightly better resembles a kind of Blunderbuss.
= Rifles =
== Winchester Model 1892 Carbine ==
Several members of the Ligue Antisemitique are armed with Winchester Model 1892 carbines. A Winchester 1892 is also seen in the Bertillon's laboratory.
== Lebel Mle 1886 ==
French soldiers are armed with Lebel Mle 1886 rifles. Most likely the screen guns are Mle 1886 M93.
= Shotguns =
== Double Barreled Shotgun ==
Louis Lépine (Marc Barbé) and several other men carry Double Barreled Shotguns during several hunts. Both shotguns with exposed hammers and hammerless ones are seen. Shotguns are also used by Count Sabran's men, guarding his estate.
== Sawed-off Double Barreled Shotgun ==
Police Inspector Joseph Fiersi (Thibaut Evrard) holds a hammerless Sawed-Off Double Barrel Shotgun in the scene in the Count Sabran's house.
