The following investigation leads Hartmann and the East German secret service agent Moser (Hanns Zischler) to media magnate Dr. Heinrich Marsfeldt (Alan Bates).

Beretta Cheetah
Moser (Hanns Zischler), an East German secret service agent, gives a Beretta Cheetah pistol to West Berlin police Lt. Claus Hartman (Jan Niklas). The exact version of the Beretta 80 series is unclear. Beretta 84 is a possible guess as this model is often seen in late 1980s films.

In the scene when Claus Hartman (Jan Niklas) saves Sonja Vogler (Jennifer Beals), attacked by the assassin (Andrew McCarthy), he holds a pistol. In the movie itself the gun is not seen, only the muzzle flash is visible, but a promotional image shows Hartman with the pistol in hands.
