Four series of the 1st season take place in May–August 1940.

WARNING! THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS!
Revolvers
Webley revolvers
Webley Revolvers are seen in hands of various characters, including one of the main characters, Detective Sergeant Paul Milner (Anthony Howell). They are used as murder weapons in "The White Feather" (S1E2) and "A Lesson in Murder" (S1E3). Both Webley .38 Mk IV and Webley .455 Mk VI are used. It's not always possible to determine exactly what model is used.
Rifles
Lee-Enfield No.1 Mk.III*
Many British Army and Home Guard soldiers carry Lee-Enfield No.1 Mk.III* rifles. These rifles are seen in most episodes.
Machine Guns
Bren
Bren guns are seen in hands of British soldiers in "The White Feather" (S1E2).
Hispano Mk II
Two 20-mm Hispano Mk II auto guns are mounted on Spitfire fighter plane, piloted by Andrew Foyle (Julian Ovenden), in "Eagle Day" (S1E4). Two different planes appear in this episode (one is Mk. Vb and another one is Mk. IX), and both are original Spitfires, not replicas.
Hand Grenades
Mk 2 Hand Grenade
In "A Lesson in Murder" (S1E3) a Mk 2 hand grenade is used as a booby-trap (though a Mills Bomb would fit better for the place and time).
