Sea Service 1756 Flintlock Pistol

In the climactic scene Vicar Francis Davey (Ben Daniels) holds a Sea Service Flintlock Pistol. The screen gun is a non-firing replica that slightly differs from the original pistol. When Davey "fires" it, he only cocks the hammer and presses the trigger, without any imitation of loading. Flashes on the lock are seen but the pistol doesn't produce muzzle flame.
Very similar model can be seen in Henry Krank catalogue (63P) but the manufacturer isn't mentioned.

Heavy Dragoon Flintlock Pistol

Due to continuity errors, Davey's pistol several times switches from the Sea Service to the Heavy Dragoon pistol and back againt. This Heavy Dragoon pistol isn't seen "firing". A long flintlock pistol that is seen in hands of a customs officer is also supposedly to be a Heavy Dragoon (no belt hook can be seen, so it's hardly a Sea Service).
