|
The Price of Treasures (Tsena sokrovishch) is a 1993 (filmed 1992) Russian adventure movie directed by Sergey Tarasov. The story is set in South Africa in 1901, during the Second Boer War. Pavel (Aleksandr Koznov), a Russian Navy officer and a volunteer in Boer army, and local woman Anna (Nadezhda Gorshkova) get a mission to find treasures, hidden long ago by pirates. But a local gang under Harry Cocker (Aleksandr Inshakov) also learn about the treasures and try to get them.
The following weapons were used in the film The Price of Treasures (Tsena sokrovishch):
Revolvers
Webley Revolver
Pavel's (Aleksandr Koznov) handgun is a Webley revolver, possibly a Webley .38 Mk IV (out of time for 1901).
Nagant M1895
Harry Cocker (Aleksandr Inshakov), his second-in-command Sam (Viktor Grigoryev) and some other bandits carry Nagant M1895 revolvers, non appropriate for Boer War but used due to the lack of better fitting guns.
Note: see additional images on talk page.
