Hello

Does anyone know what the revolvers carried by the lead character (Brendon Fraser) in The Mummy (from the boat scene on) were supposed to be? They had lanyard rings.

Thanks

jim

  Correct me if im wrong but i believe Brendon Frasier carried two Webley .455 revolvers in the movie.

  Well considering they were using Lebel rifles I thought they were Lebel revolvers. Could be wrong though. Anyone know for sure?

  I agree with Jonk. I think they are M1873 French military revolvers or very good mock ups of those revolvers.

  They were Continental, not British, although I didn't recognize them. I would suspect they were French.

  I like how he can fire them 22 times without reloading. Cool six-shooters.

  Yeah ~ I noticed they were not your typical 6 shooters too
  
  Did you ever notice on the boat also, when he finds the scrawny guide for the Americans evesdroping on him and the girl, he put the 1911 to the guides head, then it sounds like a revolver being cocked, but its a 1911 AND the hammer is still down ~ Ya gotta like Hollywierd.

  Hey, at least they didn't arm the Foreign Legion extras with Mausers or put an air-cooled Browning on the British biplane . . . give 'em at least a 'C' folks.

  9.4 or 10.4 mm Dutch Hemburg, or a French revolver whose name became the name for its double-action mechanism.
  
  Chevelot-Delvigne is NOT the correct name or spelling, but it's close. Colt double-action revolvers before the Mark III series use this mechanism. Check with "Dope Bag" of the NRA.
  
  That having been said, I'm betting on the Hemburg because these came on the surplus market in excellent shape for next to nothing in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
  
  Of course, you could contact the production company.
