Many of the weapons used in this movie are 1873 Springfield rifles and 1873 Springfield carbines (a viewer earlier misidentified the 1873 carbine as a Sharps carbine). As the Battle of Balaclava took place in 1854, these weapons are 19 years too soon. But Hollywood studios routinely used these weapons to reenact Civil War battles (such as The Red Badge Of Courage) as they were so many of them so readily available to the studios through the 1960s.
