Pistols
Mauser C96
In Eps. 4 and 5 Yakov Aleinikov (Vladlen Biryukov) carries a Mauser C96 pistol in several scenes. His pistol several times switches from a classic C96 to C96 M1930 (see below) and back. Judging by the grips, there are two different Mauser pistols. In one scene in Ep.5 Ivan Saveliev's (Nikolay Ivanov) C96 M1930 also swithes to a classic C96.

The late version of C96 M1930 is used by Yakov Aleinikov (Vladlen Biryukov) during the attack of Kaftanov's gang in Ep.4, and by Ivan Saveliev (Nikolay Ivanov) and Demyan Inyutin (Nikolay Mikheev) in the scene in taiga hamlet in Ep.5.
