Gaichi (Russian: Гайчи) is a 1938 Soviet adventure movie.
Note 1: For whatever reason, the IMDB page of this movie was based on the licensed German version, which resulted in the wrong Latin spelling of actors and characters (most notably the main character, who turned from Gaichi to Gaitschi) and shorter movie duration (the original Soviet version runs 65 minutes versus 60 minutes according to IMDB).
Note 2: The original film is a severely damaged, so, restored, but watermarked version is used.
The following weapons were used in the film Gaichi:

FN Model 1900
