Mission in Kabul (Missiya v Kabule) is a 1971 (filmed 1970) Soviet two-part adventure movie directed by Leonid Kvinikhidze. In 1919, a Soviet diplomatic mission is sent to Kabul. Friendly relations between Afghanistan and the Soviet Republic become a threat to the British interests. The Britains try to provoke the rupture of relations by using Russian White emigres to make an attempt on the Emir of Afghanistan Amanullah Khan.
The following weapons were used in the film Mission in Kabul (Missiya v Kabule):
Revolvers
Nagant M1895
A Nagant M1895 is seen in hands of a pilot of a Soviet plane, transporting the diplomatic pouches and downed by Basmachi Muslim fighters.
Webley .455 Mk VI
Major Steveni's unnamed agent fires a Webley .455 Mk VI revolver. This must be the same prop that is seen in numerous Lenfilm productions, best known to the audience as Sherlock Holmes' revolver.
Pistols
Luger P08
Soviet diplomatic courier Ivan Kolokoltsev (Gennadiy Nilov), the passenger on the downed plane, is armed with a Luger P08.
Mauser C96
The military adviser of the Soviet diplomatic mission Aleksey Repin (Vladimir Zamanskiy) carries a Mauser C96. Several sailors, guarding the Soviet diplomatic mission in Kabul, also carry Mauser C96 pistols. The pistols are seen only in holsters, and the grips look somewhat unnatural so these guns may be mere mockups.
Percussion Dueling Pistol
A pair of Percussion Dueling Pistols is used in the duel of Russian emigress Gedeonov (Gleb Strizhenov) and Roman Luzhin (Oleg Strizhenov) (it's worth noting that actors Gleb and Oleg Strizhenov are brothers). These pistols are seen in numerous Lenfilm productions.
Flintlock Pistols
Two Flintlock Pistols are used as decorations on the wall of Gedeonov's apartments. One of them is a "Knee Pistol" that also can be seen in several Lenfilm productions.
Rifles
Mosin Nagant M1891/30
Mosin Nagant M1891/30 rifles, stand-in for original M1891 Dragoon, are used by the sailors on guard of the Soviet diplomatic mission and by Basmachi.
Mosin Nagant M1891 Infantry
Mosin Nagant M1944 Carbine
The soldiers of the royal guard of the Emir of Afghanistan are armed with anachronistic Mosin Nagant M1944 Carbines. An M44 Carbine is also seen in hands of a British soldier in a battle during the Third Anglo-Afghan War.
Lee-Enfield No. 1 Mk III
British and Afghan soldiers are armed with Lee-Enfield No. 1 Mk III rifles during the Third Anglo-Afghan War.
Royal guards at the Emir's tent during the hunt carry short rifles that resemble No. 1 Mk III but look somewhat unnatural and may be mockups.
Lee-Enfield Mk.I
Several Afghans from a caravan carry Lee-Enfield Mk.I rifles.
Unidentified rifle
Two of the royal guards at the Emir palace carry short rifles. Enfield Pattern 14 is a possible guess but it's hard to say for sure.
Unidentified hunting rifle
During the Emir's hunt British military attache Major Steveni (Vladimir Zeldin) carries an unidentified Schuetzen style rifle.
Musket
Three muskets (the locks aren't seen) are used as a wall decoration in the house where Steveni meets with Gedeonov and Gerhard Epp.
Shotguns
Double Barreled Shotgun
Several different double barreled shotguns are seen in hands of Gedeonov (Gleb Strizhenov) and German businessman and British agent Gerhard Epp (Algimantas Masiulis).
Machine Guns
Maxim M1910
Basmachi use a Maxim M1910 to down a Soviet plane.
Bren Mk.1
A Bren machine gun is used by Gerhard Epp (Algimantas Masiulis) during the attempt of the Emir. This anachronistic gun is described in the movie as fictional "Mauser machine gun". In firing scenes it is substituted with a Degtyaryov DT.
Degtyaryov DT
A Degtyaryov DT is used to replace Epp's Bren gun in the firing scenes.
Trivia
Several field cannons of Afghan and British military are seen.
Footage
A documentary footage of a military parade in late 1960s Afghanistan is used in the movie.
