So Darling So Deadly (original title Kommissar X - In den Klauen des goldenen Drachen ("Commissioner X - In the Claws of the Golden Dragon")) is a 1966 German-Italian-Austrian Eurospy film directed by Gianfranco Parolini (credited as Frank Kramer). It is the third in Kommissar X franchise, series of seven films about the adventures of private investigator Jo Louis Walker (Tony Kendall), also known as "Commissioner X", and his friend, New York police captain Tom Rowland (Brad Harris). This time the duo has a mission in Singapore where Professor Akron, the inventor of a new powerful laser, is assaulted by a crime ring under the leadership of myserious Golden Dragon.
The following weapons were used in the film So Darling So Deadly:
Handguns
Arminius HW-1
Arminius HW-1 blank firing revolvers are again widely used in the movie. They are seen in hands of Jo Walker (Tony Kendall) and Capt. Tom Rowland (Brad Harris), and also of various criminals. In the final scene Shabana (Luisa Rivelli) uses Walker's revolver.
Unidentified revolver
In one scene an Asian hitman uses a revolver in an attempt to kill Tom Rowland. This revolver resembles a top-break Webley, especially a Webley .38 Mk IV (a service sidearm of Singapore Police at that time) but it completely lacks the front sight. Possibly this detail was simply broken.
Pistols
FN Model 1900
An FN Model 1900 is seen in hands of a Singapore police inspector in one scene. In the final scene Jonathan Taylor (Carlo Tamberlani) holds an FN Model 1900.
FN Model 1905
Shabana (Luisa Rivelli) carries an FN Model 1905 pistol but has no chance to use it as Walker manages to discharge the pistol.
Luger P08 "Artillery"
During the encounter in Prof. Akron's house one of Golden Dragon's thugs is armed with a Luger P08 "Artillery" model pistol.
Steyr Model 1912
Benny (Giuseppe Mattei) carries a Steyr M1912 during the encounter in Prof. Akron's house until Jo Walker (Tony Kendall) disarms him.
M1911-style pistol
In several scenes Golden Dragon's thugs carry M1911A1-style pistols. They aren't seen clear enough to identify the exact model.
Submachine Guns
MP38
MP38 SMGs are main weapons of Golden Dragon's henchmen and especially henchwomen.
Thompson M1928
What appears to be a Thompson M1928 SMG with a foregrip and a stick magazine is seen in hands of one of Golden Dragon's henchwomen.
Rifles
Karabiner 98k
In the final scene two of Golden Dragon's henchmen carry Mauser rifles, most likely Karabiner 98k.
Machine Guns
Bren
A pair of Bren machine guns is seen in Golden Dragon's underground headquarters. They aren't used in action.
Other Weapons
Pellet Gun
Benny (Giuseppe Mattei) uses a sniper rifle in several scenes. It appears to be a break-action pellet gun.
Topper Multi-Pistol 09 Toy Gun
In one scene a hitman uses a pistol with sniper scope to commit a murder. It appears to be a toy Topper Multi-Pistol 09.
