Webley .455 Mk VI

A Webley .455 Mk VI revolver is used by Sherlock Holmes (Vasily Livanov). This revolver doesn't fit for 1880s-90s when the story takes place; apparently Mk VI stands in for the earlier Webley top-break models.

Galand revolver

In the final scene Stapleton (Oleg Yankovsky) is armed with Galand revolver. This is most likely Russian contract Galand in 12x14mmR calibre which was put into service in Russian Navy in 1869 as "4 1/2-line Galyan revolver" and served until 1881.

Rifles

Long Lee-Enfield

In one scene in "The Hound of the Baskervilles" a police constable on the railway station holds a rifle. The charger bridge and the typical protruding magazine allow to guess that it can be some version of Long Lee-Enfield, which may or may not be fitting for that days Britain, depending on what time the action should take place (apart from the late conversion for clip loading).
