Nagant M1895

Russian Nagant M1895 revolvers turn up a big numbers in the first two episodes. Several Russian soldiers, both white and red, as well as some of the main characters have them. It seems, that it was meant as stand in for the Nagant revolver. Some also turn up in Ep.3. in the hands of Zentay's (István Bujtor) men.

Starting with Ep.7. Zentay and Oszkár Ormándy (Gábor Koncz), the two gendarme colonels, both have a FEG M37. Bors and Dániel also get a pair from an officer, when they pretend to be Zentay and Ormándy.

Mosin-Nagant M91/30

The Russian soldiers and the main characters often carry Mosin-Nagant rifles in the first two episodes, however they are all anachronistic M91/30s. In Ep.11. the Spanish Republicans also have Mosin-Nagants.

MP40

The MP40-s first appear in Ep.9., used by German soldiers. This is of course anachronistic, as the MP40 didn't exist in 1933. The situation is the same in Ep.11., where the Condor Legion soldiers are armed with MP40-s. MP40-s appear in large numbers in the last episode, and Bors and his comrades are armed with MP40-s during the final showdown with Zentay and Ormándy.

Sa.24

Probably the most egregious case of anachronism in the series is the appearance of the Sa.24 sub-machinegun, which was introduced in 1948, after the events of the show. Sipos uses on in Ep.9., while in Ep.15. Zentay, Ormándy and the other gendarmes are armed with Sa.24-s too.

Danuvia M43

In Ep.14. Bors and his men infiltrate a millitary base, where new weapons are tested. They are armed with an odd variation of the Danuvia M43 sub-machinegun. The wood handguard after the magazine has been removed, and the barrel has been covered with a ventillated shroud. This way it looks like the Danuvia M44, however that never went beyond the prototype stage, and was therefore never issued to the troops. The reason for this conversion remains a mystery.

Madsen Machine Gun

Inside the barracks of Bors and his comrades in Ep.15. is a Madsen machine gun. This is not an oddity. Hungary bought Madsen MGs from Denmark near the end of WW1, and they were reissued to reserve troops in 1944. It is possible, that Bors captured a Madsen during the fight.

RPG 7

Another egregious case of anachronism. In Ep.14. the secret millitary base Borse and his comrades infiltrate is the place where the germans test out some new Panzerfausts. These "Panzerfausts" are actually RPG-7-s.
