= Revolvers =<br />
== Rossi M27 ==<br />
Gert ([[Klaus Kinski]]), the enforcer of the Golden Dragons, holds a [[Smith & Wesson Model 36]]-style revolver when he interrogates kidnapped Ah Sing and Ingrid. His revolver has slightly different front sight and the front of the frame that allow to identify the gun as Rossi M27 "Pioneer".<br />
[[Image:M36.jpg|thumb|none|300px|Smith & Wesson Model 36 - .38 Special. Rossi M27 is very similar except for more angular front sight, slightly different shape of the front of the frame and shorter ejector rod.]]<br />

<br />
== Single Action Army ==<br />
Hong Kong police officers carry [[Single Action Army]] revolvers (too antique handguns for 1960s). The holsters of British pattern for [[Webley .455 Mk VI]] revolvers are used.<br />
[[Image:SAA Artillery Cimarron.jpg|thumb|none|300px|A Cimarron reproduction of Single Action Army with 5.5" barrel aka "Artillery" model with wooden grips - .45 Long Colt]]<br />

<br />
== Unidentified Smith & Wesson revolver ==<br />
A miniature wooden pagoda with five revolvers mounted inside is used by the Golden Dragons as a kind of security system. The revolvers are seen partially, all five seems to be the same model. Judging by the supported ejector rod, these are Smith & Wesson models.<br />
[[File:Five Golden Dragons-Revolver2-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|One of the Golden Dragons opens the pagoda with his personal key. The revolvers are seen inside; the muzzle of one of the guns is seen at the left.]]<br />

<br />
= Pistols =<br />
== Mondial Model 1900 ==<br />
When Margret ([[Maria Perschy]]) sneaks into Mitchell's hotel suite, she is armed with a nickel plated pocket pistol that turns out to be a starter pistol of Italian or German manufacture. [[Mondial Model 1900]] seems to be a decent guess.<br />

[[File:Five Golden Dragons-Pocket-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|She holds Mitchell at gunpoint. The markings are seen on the pistol, they match Mondial starter pistols.]]<br />
<br />
== Unidentified pistol ==<br />
Peterson's bodyguard Max (uncredited) holds an unidentified pistol. It looks similar to [[Smith & Wesson 39]] but no slide-mounted safety switch and external extractor can be seen on this gun.<br />
[[Image:S&W39.jpg|thumb|none|300px|For comparison: Smith & Wesson 39 - 9x19mm]]<br />

<br />
= Trivia =<br />
Several naval ships are seen in the Hong Kong Bay.<br />
[[File:Five Golden Dragons-Navy-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The ship at the far left (red arrow) is a dock landing ship, supposedly ''Ashland'' class. A destroyer of unclear class is seen in center (blue arrow).]]<br />
[[File:Five Golden Dragons-Navy-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Two destroyers are seen near the pier. One of them (red arrow) is a ''Daring'' class (two twin Mk VI 4.5 inch gun mountings are seen on the bow and one - on the stern); another one (blue arrow) is a ''County'' class guided missile destroyer, identified by the typical large Type 901 radar post.]]<br />
