Sherlock Holmes and the Secret Weapon is an American 1943 (filmed 1942) detective movie, directed by Roy William Neill and starring Basil Rathbone as Sherlock Holmes and Nigel Bruce as Dr. Watson. This is the fourth installment to the series of fourteen Sherlock Holmes films starring Rathbone and Bruce. Like most of the films in the series, this one is set during WW2. Holmes protects a Swiss scientist who invented an advanced bomb sight. Professor Moriarty, now working for Nazi, hunts for the inventor. The story uses elements of "The Adventure of the Dancing Men" story.
The following weapons were used in the film Sherlock Holmes and the Secret Weapon:
Revolvers
Webley Bulldog

Iver Johnson Bulldog
Moriarty (Lionel Atwill) holds an Iver Johnson Bulldog revolver when he plans to kill Holmes.
When Inspector Lestrade (Dennis Hoey) and Dr. Watson (Nigel Bruce) appear to rescue Holmes, Watson holds a revolver that looks similar to Moriarty's gun, including white grips, but this revolver has the front sight.
Colt Commando
Inspector Lestrade (Dennis Hoey) carries a compact Colt revolver that appears to be a Colt Commando with 2" barrel.
