Wedding in Malinovka (Svadba v Malinovke) is a 1967 Soviet comedy movie by Andrei Tutyshkin. The story takes place in an Ukrainian village during the Russian Civil war.

The following weapons are seen in the movie Wedding in Malinovka (Svadba v Malinovke):


Handguns

Nagant M1895 Revolver

Nagant M1895 revolvers are seen in hands of several characters including Red Army commander Nazar Duma (Vladimir Samojlov), the chief of brigands Gritsian (Grigori Abrikosov) and Yashka the Artilleryman (Mikhail Pugovkin).

Nagant M1895 Revolver - 7.62x38N cartridge (aka 7.62 Nagant ammo). This example was dated 1939 manufacture and was a War time Issued weapon. Note the angular front sight which was used from 1930s.
Gritsian (Grigori Abrikosov) with his Nagant revolver. Note the unusual position of the ramrod which can be seen in several movies. This is a common defect of old revolvers.

Reichsrevolver M1879 Revolver

Popandopulo (Mikhail Vodyanoy), the second-in-command of brigands, carries several handguns including Reichsrevolver M1879.

Reichsrevolver M1879 Revolver - 10,6x25R.

Smith & Wesson 4th Model

Another handgun used by Popandopulo (Mikhail Vodyanoy) is a compact Smith & Wesson revolver, supposedly a Smith & Wesson 4th Model or its clone of Belgian or Spanish manufacture.

Smith & Wesson 4th Model Double Action - .32
Popandopulo (Mikhail Vodyanoy) aims Smith & Wesson revolver at another brigand who tries to steal a part of loot (later in the same scene he changed this small revolver to larger and more "frightening" Reichsrevolver). The shape of the front sight and the trigger guard match the 4th Model.

Mauser C96 Pistol

Gritsian (Grigori Abrikosov) and Popandopulo (Mikhail Vodyanoy) are both armed with Mauser C96 pistols.

Pre-War dated Mauser C96 "Broomhandle" Commercial Version - 7.63x25mm Mauser. Note the rear tangent sight; in something of a display of wishful thinking, the C96's sight is adjustable for ranges up to 1000 meters.
Gritsian (Grigori Abrikosov) shoots his Mauser pistol in the air to threaten the villagers.
