guns


Does anyone happen to know what make Braddock's gun is? One reason I ask is because it looks very much like the semi-automatic Colt Raven uses in THIS GUN FOR HIRE, but those were only produced until 1945. Perhaps a similar successor model?

And also what type the smaller gun is that he later surprisingly produces from an ankle holster?

Braddock's main weapon is a Spanish Astra Constable, a Walther PPK lookalike but not as good. His back up pistol is a Spanish Star Model C. The big revolver Myron carries is a Spanish Llama Comanche.

At least this explains how they got the guns for the job - they must have picked up local guns once they were in Spain. Safer than crossing Euro borders with firearms.

Thanks very much. :) Fascinating that they went to that much trouble with such details as well. How much effort went into the acting and style was always immediately obvious to me.
