Throughout the movie T.E. Lawrence is seen carrying a British Webley Mk. VI revolver. Though it was the correct weapon for British officers of the era, the real T.E. Lawrence had sent for two Colt M1911 pistols in 1914 when a friend was traveling in the US and British pistols were scarce due to the war effort. The M1911s would serve Lawrence as his personal weapons throughout his campaigns. In his letters to this brother he wrote: "The Colt is a lovely pistol. The more I examine it the more I like it. There is a vast gulf between it and the ordinary revolver."
