Sherlock Holmes and the Leading Lady

Sherlock Holmes and the Leading Lady is an international co-production 1991 made for TV two-part detective movie directed by Peter Sasdy and starring Christopher Lee as Sherlock Holmes and Patrick Macnee as Dr. Watson. The movie uses Arthur Conan Doyle's characters but has an original plot: in 1910 Mycroft Holmes asks Sherlock to travel to Vienna and find the stolen plans for a brand new electromagnetic bomb detonator. Once there, Holmes and Watson meet with Irene Adler (Morgan Fairchild) who returns to her singer career.
This movie and the following Sherlock Holmes: Incident at Victoria Falls (1992) form a series entitled Sherlock Holmes the Golden Years. It was initially announced as a miniseries, but only two films (each in two parts) were made.
__TOC__
= Revolvers =
== Webley .455 Mk VI ==
Sherlock Holmes (Christopher Lee) uses a Webley .455 Mk VI revolver in several scenes. The story is set in 1910, so Mk VI doesn't fit for this time.
== Webley RIC No.1 New Model ==
Dr. Watson (Patrick Macnee) uses a Webley RIC No.1 New Model revolver throughout the movie.
== Unidentified revolvers ==
Various revolvers are used during Holmes' confrontation with von Bork and in the scene with Bosnian kidnappers. They aren't seen clear enough for positive identification.
=== Unidentified revolver 1 ===
Holmes takes a revolver from German agent Major Von Bork (Dominic Jephcott). The gun has flat wide top of the frame; possibly it's a reused Webley RIC but it's only a guess.
=== Unidentified revolver 2 ===
Bosnian Zygovich (Tom Chadbon) holds a revolver when he threatens Holmes. His gun may be a reused Webley .455 Mk VI but it's only a guess. 
=== Unidentified revolver 3 ===
Another Bosnian, Kosich (Kevin Quarmby), holds a revolver that has a side-mounted ejector rod, connected with the barrel by a knob near the muzzle but seemingly without a rod housing (unlike Single Action Army, for example).
=== Unidentified revolver 4 ===
In same scene Elliott Ness (Tom Lahm) (yes, that Eliott Ness, credited in this film as "Elliott") uses a revolver that is seen very briefly. It bears some resemblance with foregoing Webley RIC but looks somewhat different.
= Pistols =
== Luger P08 (replica) ==
Hugo Oberstein (Paul Humpoletz) uses a Luger P08. Upon close inspection, his pistol appears to be not a genuine Luger but some kind of replica, possibly even a plastic toy gun.
== Steyr M1912 ==
When Holmes disarmes Laszlo Karparti (Patrick Monckton), the latter's pistol appears to be a Steyr M1912 (unfitting for 1910).
== Mauser C96 ==
Austro-Hungarian Army Capt. Franz Winterhauser (Michael Siberry) uses a Mauser C96 pistol. The gun lacks a hole through the knob of the safety lever, so it is Wartime Commercial model that appeared only in 1912.
== Dueling Pistol ==
A pair of duelling pistols (most likely percussion) is very briefly seen in a box, hold by the director of Vienna operetta Franz Dietrich (James Bree) when he challenges the theater critic Franz Hoffman (Robert Rietty) to a duel.
= Shotguns =
== Double Barreled Shotgun ==
Several Double Barreled Shotguns, both hammerless and with exposed hammers, are seen in Laszlo Karparti's hunting lodge. They are used by Karparti (Patrick Monckton) and Von Bork (Dominic Jephcott).
