The Prisoner of Castle If (Uznik zamka If) is a 1988 Soviet-French three-part screen adaptation of the famous novel The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas, directed by Georgi Yungvald-Khilkevich and starring Viktor Avilov.
The following weapons were used in the film The Prisoner of Castle If (Uznik zamka If):
Handguns
Percussion Cap Pistol
In one scene Count de Monte-Cristo (Viktor Avilov) hands a Percussion Cap Pistol to his manservant Li (Vyacheslav Tsoy). Another percussion cap pistol, of a different model, is seen in hands of Morrel (Igor Bogodukh) when he faces bankruptcy and plans to commit suicide. Both pistols turn out to be converted from flintlock to percussion cap lock. Supposedly same props reused are seen in some other scenes.
Chatellerault Cavalry Model 1822 Percussion Cap Pistol
What appears to be a Chatellerault Cavalry Model 1822 percussion cap pistol is seen in hands of Count Fernan de Morcerf (Mikhail Boyarskiy).
Unidentified pistols
More antique pistols are seen in various scenes, mostly in darkness. It's hard to say if these are flintlock or percussion cap pistols, or maybe visually modified sawed-off shotguns.
Unidentified pepperbox
Danglars (Aleksey Zharkov) holds a pepperbox revolver of unknown model (possibly a Lefaucheux Pepperbox) when he is kidnapped by Luigi Vampa's gang.
Long Guns
Mosin Nagant Rifle (visually modified)
Muskets, seen in hands of French soldiers and gendarmes, turn out to be visually modified Mosin Nagant Rifles. The rifles are fitted with barrel bands, sling swivels and prop bayonets stylised after 19th century muskets. The magazines are removed from the rifles but bolt handles are mostly remain intact. Only several of these props are fitted with mockup locks that aren't seen clear enough to say if they represent flintlocks or percussion cap locks.
Unidentified long guns
Various long guns are briefly seen in several scenes.
