Sherlock: The Russian Chronicles (Sherlok v Rossii ("Sherlock in Russia") is a Russian 2020 TV series directed by Nurbek Egen. This is a non-canon version of the adventures of Sherlock Holmes. The trail of Jack the Ripper leads Holmes (Maksim Matveev) to the Russian Empire. In St. Petersburg he meets Dr. Kartsev (Vladimir Mishukov) who eventually becomes "Russian Watson". Holmes and Kartsev solve not only the mystery of Jack the Ripper but also several other cases that puzzle the Russian criminal police.
The following weapons were used in the television series Sherlock: The Russian Chronicles (Sherlok v Rossii):
Revolvers
Nagant M1895 "Blef"
Nagant M1895 revolvers, anachronistic for 1888 when the plot is set, are widely used throughout the series. Close-ups reveal most if not all the screen guns as "Blef" blank-firing version. They are used by Sherlock Holmes (Maksim Matveev), Dr. Ilya Philimonovich Kartsev (Vladimir Mishukov), Kholmogorov (Gennadiy Alimpiev), Luka Sviridov (Sergey Mardar), Arseniy Petrovich Mogolev (Ilya Savelyev), criminal Konstantin Naydyonov alias "Kat" (Evgeniy Romantsov) and his henchman "Letopisets" ("Chronicler") (Aleksandr Averin), Russian police personnel, and in the opening scene, set in London, by Dr. Watson (Andrey Feskov) and Inspector Lestrade (Aleksey Vdovin).
Gletcher NGT Nagant
Gletcher NGT CO2 replicas of Nagant M1895, identified by the raised rear part of the frame, are seen in the hands of Sherlock Holmes (Maksim Matveev) and Ivan "Khromoy" ("Lame") (Nikita Kologrivyy).
Bruni Olympic 6
The Ober-politsmeister (cheif of police) of St. Petersburg Pyotr Porfiryevich Znamenskiy (Konstantin Bogomolov) owns a pocket revolver. This is a Bruni Olympic 6 blank-firing gun that may be used as a stand-in for a Bulldog.
Denix Single Action Army
Denix replicas of Single Action Army Civilian Model revolvers are seen in hands of Sherlock Holmes (Maksim Matveev), Dr. Ilya Philimonovich Kartsev (Vladimir Mishukov), police detective Lavr Sidorovich Trudniy (Pavel Maykov), Albert Lyudvigovich Dreitzen (Valeriy Kukhareshin), Anton Sviridov (Fyodor Fedotov), and Prof. Bakhmetyev's aide Fadey Lukich Parshin (Andrey Lyovin). Revolvers with "grey patina" and "blue" finish are used.
Denix Webley .38 Mk IV
A Denix replica of anachronistic Webley .38 Mk IV revolver is seen in hands of an unnamed gendarmes officer.

In several scenes Sherlock Holmes (Maksim Matveev) is armed with a CO2 revolver ASG Schofield, a replica of Smith & Wesson Schofield. ASG Schofield revolvers are also seen in hands of police Podporuchik (2nd Lt. rank) Arkadiy Koshko (Kirill Gordleev), Prof. Bakhmetyev's coachman (uncredited) and the brothel doorman (uncredited).
Denix "Schofield Cal.45" (Smith & Wesson Model 3)

Kropatschek Rifle
While most guns in the series are replicas, a genuine Kropatschek Rifle is used by "Kat"'s henchman. It is fitted with a WW2 era sniper scope, supposedly a German Zeiss ZF39 (19th century scopes are similar, but have a simpler design). Holmes identified this gun as a Berdan Rifle.
