Revolvers
Nagant M1895
Nagant M1895 revolvers are widely used in the movie by Reds, notably Ignat Gomozov (Yuriy Sherstnyov) and Andrey Petrakov (Georgiy Burkov), and Whites. Fed'ka Poklonov (Vyacheslav Glushkov) and some other village kids also hold Nagants in several scenes. Both pre- and post-1930 versions are seen.
Note: see additional images of talk page.

Pistols
Mauser C96
Andrey Petrakov (Georgiy Burkov) gets a Mauser C96 that belonged to the chieftan of Ananrchists (Rasmi Dzhabrailov) and uses the pistol in following scenes. This C96 appears to be Wartime Commercial model.
Pre-War dated Mauser C96 "Broomhandle" Commercial Version - 7.63x25mm Mauser. Wartime Commercial version looks generally the same.

Machine Guns
Lewis Machine Gun
A Lewis machine gun is seen in several scenes, at first used by bandits and then by Red partisans. During the final battle the same Lewis is mounted on Sokolov mount (absolutely incredible combination). This movie prop, identified by a makeshift barrel cover (supposedly it's a damaged piece that was very roughly repared on cinema factory), is seen in several other Gorky Film Studio productions, including Konets imperatora taygi, Khleb, zoloto, nagan, Ne stavte Leshemu kapkany... and Smotri v oba!.
