Watson fires at the hound. There is a possibility that in this scene he has a different revolver.

Unidentified revolver

Sherlock Holmes' (Nando Gazzolo) revolver is seen very unclear and cannot be identified. This large revolver bears resemblance with Smith & Wesson models with swing-out cylinder, but maybe this is an Italian Glisenti M1874.

A "knee pistol" is seen on the table together with a dagger, an old book and some other curiosities, likely a part of Baskervilles family "museum".

Rifles

Mannlicher M1895 Carbine

One of the British soldiers carries a short rifle that appears to be some version of Mannlicher M1895 (of course, this gun doesn't fit 1880s Britain but was available for the moviemakers).

Another view of the rifle. The position of sling swivels match M95 Stutzen carbine as like as Mannlicher short rifles, modified in 1930s, but an original Austro-Hungarian gun seems to have more chance to appear in Italian movie.
