The following weapons were used in the film Journey to China: The Mystery of Iron Mask:


Handguns

Austrian Model 1798 Flintlock Pistol

Miss Dudley (Anna Churina) uses an Austrian Model 1798 Flintlock Pistol during the training shooting. The weapon is most likely anachronistic as the movie is set in an ambiguous "18th century".

French Style Flintlock Pistol

While dressed as a sailor, Miss Dudley wields what appears to be a French looking flintlock pistol. It resembles pistolet modèle An XIII or modèle 1822 though the plate on the left side doesn't match so it might be some kind of a generic replica.

Long Guns

Charleville Musket

Charleville Musket replicas are being used by British and Russian soldiers. Russian M1808 musket, based on French M1777 pattern, had nearly same outlook, except for the slightly different top barrel band.

Nock Gun

The Nock Gun is seen at one point. The weapon might be anachronistic as it was designed in 1779 in reality and the movie is set in an ambiguous "18th century".

Flintlock Carbine

Miss Dudley briefly holds what looks like either French Model 1777/1786/1806 flintlock carbine, but she never fires it. The carbine is fitted with a barrel clamp similar to the one on the Austrian pistol listed above so this might be some kind of a replica like the Denix replica of the French Flintlock Carbine Model 1806.
