Wheellock Pistol

An ancient pistol can be seen on the belt of one brigand. It's only seen partially, but all visible parts clearly resemble the Wheellock Pistol which also appeared in two other parts of the series, so it's most likely the same prop.

The grip, trigger guard, long barrel, muzzle and part of lock are seen.

Rifles

Wänzel Rifle

Nearly all soldiers as well as Schinderhannes himself use Wänzel Rifles. One of these rifles briefly appears in the hands of Jew Pereles (Milos Kopecký).
