Talk:The Little Soldier (Le petit soldat)

Unidentified Weapons

That first pic is a Mosin-Nagant, possibly an M44, I think that dark side along the fore-end is a bayonet. That second pic makes me think of a PPSh. As for the revolver is seems like one of those Belgian made bulldogs and it is a small framed revolver, I'd say somewhere along the .22, .30 or .32 calibers. I just don't know what was popular among the French leading into the 60's so I can't make a better guess. Although in the pictures it looks like there is an ejector rod under the barrel with no barrel latch so it could also possibly be a Colt Pocket revolver or a copy of a Colt. Looking at that third picture something about it makes me think of one of those Rohm .22 revolvers or even a starter pistol. 14:10, 23 December 2018 (EST)

Thanks a lot! I had a guess that the rifle is Mosin, due to the bolt handle, but wasn't sure. The revolver also made me to think about Rohm, but as fas as I know, they appeared only in 1960s. Below are some more screenshots of the revolver. Greg-Z (talk) 15:08, 23 December 2018 (EST)

In that first picture the bore looks filled in, it could be a starter pistol or even a cap gun. Unless my eyes are deceiving me. I can see an axis pin for the cylinder and a short ramped sight, I'd lean toward it being .22 Short or a blank firing revolver. Black Irish Paddy (talk) 15:21, 23 December 2018 (EST)
