The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared is a 2013 Swedish film comedy directed by Felix Herngren based on the novel of the same name by Jonas Jonasson. After a long and eventful life, Allan Karlsson ends up in a retirement home, believing his days are numbered and bored to death. On his 100th birthday, the senior citizen, who still enjoys excellent health, decides to escape the tedium of the home and unceremoniously climbs out the window. What follows is a series of unexpected events that lead him on a long journey. On this journey, he meets a group of serious criminals, finds a suitcase full of money, encounters an elephant, makes the acquaintance of an incompetent policeman, and makes new friends. For Allan, however, none of this is really out of the ordinary, because it turns out that he was involved in a large part of the most significant events of the 20th century; sometimes more and sometimes less directly.

The following weapons were used in the film The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared:

Handguns

Colt 1851 Navy

Allan Karlsson (Robert Gustafsson) is gifted with a golden plated Colt 1851 Navy from General Francisco Franco (Koldo Losada).

Colt 1851 Navy - .36 caliber

While having a fiesta, Franco proudly presents his personal favorite firearm to Allan.

Speechless about this gift, Allan examines the taken revolver.

Colt M1911A1

Hans Claesson aka Hinken (Sven Lönn) carries a Colt M1911A1. During one slideshow, some American agents appear also using Colt pistols.

Having found the stay of the old man Hinken moves the slide of his Colt.

While taking cover behind the circus bus he notices that he slide is still in the backwards position.

He holds Allan hostage to get the suitcase.

The left side of the grip is visible as he brandishes it back and forth.
