The pistol was the side arm weapon for a variety of personnel during World War One. When war began there were three types of pistol in general use. there were revolvers, clip-loaded automatics and the so-called 'blow-back' models. The most famous wartime pistol was the German Luger. Not so far behind is the British Webley. The United States had 3 pistol models. The Colt 45, Colt revolver and a Smith and Wesson revolver.
Can't be answered without a DETAILED description of ALL markings, barrel length, finish, grips, sights, box, accessories, papers, condition.
Somewhere between $300 and $1100 typically. This is dependant on many factors. Has the cylinder been altered to fire .45 Colt or .45 ACP? What is the overall condition? Was it refinished? What markings other than S&W's are on the gun, Canadian, Anzac, British? Is it a Mountie's (RNWMP) issue weapon and not military? Can the gun be linked to specific person and their service, who? So many variables with a gun of this type! --Bill

The most powerful handgun in the world has to be the Austrian Pfeifer-Zeliska .600 nitro express revolver, but the most powerful PRODUCTION handgun is the Smith & Wesson Model 500 revolver that shoots the .500 cartridge.The .600 Nitro Express Zeliska revolver is an Austrian single-action revolver produced by Pfeifer firearms. It is the largest handgun in the world, weighing in at 6.001 kilograms (13.230 lb) and having a length of 55 centimetres (22 in). The cylinder section alone weighs 2.041 kilograms (4.500 lb). The Zeliska is also the most powerful handgun in the world, producing a muzzle energy of over 6 kilojoules (4,400 ft·lbf). The weight of the gun helps control the recoil, making controlled shooting possible.
Nothing. S&W did not make this.
Dirty Harry used a 44 Magnum in his words "The most powerful handgun in the world." Specifically, it was a Smith and Wesson Model 29 in a .44 magnum. In addition, it is not the most powerful handgun in the world (not even at the time of filming.)
ANY firearm that discharges a bullet is capable of causing a lethal injury. 500 smith and Wesson. Is a very lethal handgun.
It is impossible to name all the guns in the world because there are so many and people can make their own. Glock, Sig, Browning, Mauser, Enfield. Winchester, Marlin, Colt and Smith & Wesson are a few more extremely popular brands. Firearms may also be known by their type- pistol, revolver, rifle, shotgun, etc.
The gun depicted in the film was a Smith & Wesson Model 29 .44 Magnum, which was in fact the exact same gun that was used for filming. However, there have been rumors that the nearly identical Model's 25 or 57 were used instead, due to lack of availability of the Model 29 itself and that of blank shots (which would have had to have been fabricated by the producers especialy for the 29.) In light of these rumors, it has been backed by several of the film's producers, including its co-writer, that the truly was "the most powerful handgun in the world," the S&W model 29 .44 Magnum. A side note, the handgun has since been surpassed by several later firearms as "the most powerful handgun in the world." Not to say that it couldn't do to one's self what Eastwood famously stated it could.
