Movie Trivia Question- What Type of Revolvers?

[Hawg Rider]

Okay- the movie is "The Mummy" (Brendon Fraser, et al)...good action movie with lots of period-correct stuff for gun enthusiasts to look at: old Colt 1873s, S&Ws, Winchester shotguns, Model 1911s, Thompsons, Lebels, Berthiers, etc. etc.

Here's the question: what two revolvers does Brendon Fraser carry in his shoulder holsters in addition to the two 1911s? I can't really tell- but they might be M1892 French (Lebel) or 1895 Nagants revolvers. I know this is not exactly a S&W question, but it's been bugging me. Any ideas?

In the Mummy, Chamelot-Delvingne Model 1873 revolvers were used.

Wow, that was quick...thanks. I've never heard of that maker, but then again I'm not a big Euro-arms fancier. I'll check some of my old firearms references and see if I can find the model.

Serialsolver is correct. They were the issue French army revolver prior to the M1892 8m/m Lebel revolver. They were still seen in reserve and police use as late as early WWII.

11.?? mm (45 cal or so)

Very cool.

If you google "french revolvers 1873" you get a bunch of hits.

revolver used at the start of Mummy 2

As a follow up, Brendan carried a S &W at the start of Mummy 2.

It looks very much like a triplelock or 3rd model H.E.

6 1/2" barrel can't tell if 44 special,or 455. If true to the era and foreign setting, could have been a 1st model (triplelock) in .455.

Nice looking gun and very clearly a Smith 6 1/2" with the ejector shroud.

Cool websites for movie guns. I checked a similar sight to find out what guns were used in "48 Hours" (Nolte/Murphy)...N-frames. I know Nolte's was a 4" Model 29, but at the beginning it looks like Gantz is using a Model 27 or Model 28. However, when they're going through one of the guys' suitcases, the one cop finds a speedloader and mentions "Hey, he uses a .44 like you Jack".
