Does anyone happen to know what make Braddock's gun is? One reason I ask is because it looks very much like the semi-automatic Colt Raven uses in THIS GUN FOR HIRE, but those were only produced until 1945. Perhaps a similar successor model?
And also what type the smaller gun is that he later surprisingly produces from an ankle holster? -

Braddock's main weapon is a Spanish Astra Constable, a Walther PPK lookalike but not as good. His back up pistol is a Spanish Star Model C. The big revolver Myron carries is a Spanish Llama Comanche.
At least this explains how they got the guns for the job - they must have picked up local guns once they were in Spain. Safer than crossing Euro borders with firearms.

Fascinating that they went to that much trouble with such details as well. How much effort went into the acting and style was always immediately obvious to me.
