The Snow Queen (Snezhnaya koroleva) is a Soviet 1967 (filmed 1966) screen adaptation of the play by Evgeniy Shvarts, in turn based on most famous Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale.
The following weapons were used in the film The Snow Queen (Snezhnaya koroleva):
Pistols
Blunderbuss Pistol
In several scenes Storyteller (Valeri Nikitenko) carries a blunderbuss pistol. This gun seems to be a mockup rather than a genuine gun, but it is fitted with a percussion cap lock from a real pistol (some elements of the lock allow to guess that it is a converted flintlock). Same prop is also seen among the guns of Robber Woman (Olga Vikland). This gun looks very similar to the blunderbuss pistol, seen in Tri tolstyaka, also a Lenfilm production of same years.
Another blunderbuss pistol is hold by a bearded robber (Evgeniy Filatov).
Percussion Cap Pistol
A Percussion Cap Pistol, mostly used by Robber Woman (Olga Vikland), appears to be a genuine Russian M1848 soldier's model or one of French Chatellerault models.
Numerous Percussion Cap Pistols of different model are used by the robbers. They appear to be same props, reused in several scenes. Possibly these pistols are not original guns, but good mockups, fitted with some genuine parts, like locks. Only these pistols are seen firing (genuine historical guns of black powder era certainly doesn't fire on screen to avoid damage).
Percussion Pocket Pistol
A Percussion Pocket Pistol is seen among the guns of Little Robber Girl (Era Ziganshina). It appears to be the same prop, used in some other Lenfilm productions, like Tri tolstyaka.
Percussion Dueling Pistol
Percussion Dueling Pistols are seen in hands of several robbers, and of Little Robber Girl. At least two different pistols of this kind are seen.
Flintlock Pistol
When Little Robber Girl finds out Storyteller, dusguised as a robber, in the cave, she draws one more pistol, this time a flintlock one. This pistol with silvery inlay is also used in Tri tolstyaka. A robber (Zdislav Monkovskiy) holds same prop in another scene.
Wheellock Pistol
A very large pistol is seen in "apartments" of Little Robber Girl. It has massive pommel, like Matchlock and Whellock pistols of 16th-17th century. The massive screw on the dog allow to identify this pistol as whellock.
"Knee Flintlock Pistol"
A robber (Anatoli Stolbov) carries a pistol with short buttstock. Such guns, not large enough for even shortest of carbines, are sometimes referred as "Knee Pistols". They were especially popular in Ottoman Empire, on Balkans and in North Africa. The gun seems to be the same prop, used in Tri tolstyaka.
Revolvers
Reichsrevolver M1879
While most robbers are armed with percussion cap and flintlock guns, one of the gang (Mikhail Vasilyev) holds a Reichsrevolver M1879. This revolver, wiped nearly to white, appears to be the same prop, used in numerous Lenfilm productions, notably Priklucheniya Sherlocka Holmsa i Doktora Watsona.
Muskets
Flintlock Musket
A long gun is seen in the den of robbers. On the lightened version, it seems, that it has some parts of Flintlock Musket.
Wheellock Musket
What looks like a kind of Wheellock Musket (doubtless a not very elaborated mockup) is seen in the den of robbers.
Mock Up Musket
One more robber holds a long gun that lacks any kind of lock, which allow to identify it as a simple mockup.
Unidentified muskets
An unidentified long gun is briefly seen in hands of a robber.
The some kind of muzket can be seen in the "apartments" of Little Robber Girl. It's lock didn't seen, which made it's identification impossible.
Shotguns
Percussion Shotgun
When Little Robber Girl appears, returning from hunt, she carries a relatively small musket. The similar looking gun can be seen in the "apartments" of Little Robber Girl. Same looking gun is seen in another Lenfilm productions, Truffaldino_iz_Bergamo, and that movie proves that the gun has percussion cap lock.
Blunderbuss
A tall robber (German Lupekin) is seen with a Blunderbuss. It's hard to say if this is a genuine gun or a mockup.
