A Tale About Nipper-Pipper (Skazka o Malchishe-Kibalchishe) is a 1965 (filmed 1964) Soviet children's film directed by Evgeniy Sherstobitov and adapted from the 1933 heroic tale A tale about a war secret, about the boy Nipper-Pipper, and his word of honour by Arkady Gaidar. The Soviet state is attacked by Bourgeoish army. The Red troops on the border are defeated, and the grown-ups from a village perish in battle. Then the village boys, led by brave Malchish-Kibalchish (Nipper-Pipper in the English translation of the original tale), take weapons and firmly stand in defence, waiting for the Red Army coming.
The following weapons were used in the film A Tale About Nipper-Pipper (Skazka o Malchishe-Kibalchishe):
Revolvers
Glisenti M1874
One of two revolvers of the spy Uncle 518 (Sergey Martinson) is a Glisenti M1874. This is very likely the same prop that is seen in several Dovzhenko Film Studios productions of 1950s-1960s.
Smith & Wesson Double Action Revolver
Another revolver of Uncle 518 is a Smith & Wesson double action revolver in .38 or .32 caliber. The revolver looks similar to Smith & Wesson 4th Model but some details, like the shape of the trigger guard, are different, so possibly the gun is a European manufactured replica of the original S&W model. This is very likely the same prop that is seen in several Dovzhenko Film Studios productions of 1950s-1960s.
Pistols
Luger P08
Bourgeoish officers, notably Chief Bourgeoish General (Dmitriy Kapka), carry Luger P08 pistols.
Rifles and Assault Rifles
Mosin Nagant M1891 Dragoon and M1891/30
The boys are armed with a mix of Mosin Nagant M1891/30 and Mosin Nagant M1891 Dragoon rifles (or M91/30 with removed front sight hoods).
Mosin Nagant M1891 Infantry
Some Mosin Nagant M1891 Infantry rifles are also seen.
Mosin Nagant M1891/30 Sniper Rifle
Two Bourgeoish snipers are armed with Mosin Nagant M1891/30 Sniper Rifles. An M91/30 rifle with turned down bolt handle, like on the sniper version, but without the scope, is carried by a Red Army cavalryman (Anatoli Yurchenko) in the final scene.
Karabiner 98k
Most Bourgeoish soldiers are armed with Karabiner 98k rifles. Many of the 98k are fitted with long Gewehr 98-style sword bayonets.
Sturmgewehr 44
Many Bourgeoish soldiers are armed with Sturmgewehr 44 assault rifles, without magazines, and some with Gewehr 98-style sword bayonets.
Shotguns
ZK Shotgun
In one scene Malchish-Kibalchish stands of the watchtower, armed with a single barreled shotgun that seems to be a ZK shotgun.
Machine Guns
Maxim M1910/30
The boys use a Maxim M1910/30 machine gun.
Other Weapons
M1917 Chemical Hand Grenade
The large hand grenades, seen in the Red Army armory, are M1917 Chemical Hand Grenades. In the movie these grenades represent high-explosive ones. As the grenades are thrown by underage boys, they must be only empty shells, without inert fill.
45mm 53-K AT Gun
The boys use two 45mm 53-K AT guns, painted in red.
Trivia
Mauser C96 Mockup
The bodyguards of the Head Bourgeoish carry wooden mockups of holstered Mauser C96 pistols. Such props can be seen in several Dovzhenko Film Studios productions, except in this movie they are painted in white.
