Treasure Island (Ostrov sokrovishch) is a 1971 Soviet screen adaptation of famous adventure novel by Robert Louis Stevenson, directed by Yevgeni Fridman. The movie was filmed on Gorky Film Studio in Moscow but most actors are of Estonian and Lithuanian origin.
The following weapons were used in the film Treasure Island (Ostrov sokrovishch) (1971):
Pistols
M1809 Russian Flintlock Pistol
While most flintlock pistols in the movie are mockups (see below), some genuine pistols are also seen. They appear to be of Russian M1809 model that was manufactured until 1830s in vast numbers. In firing scenes these pistols are replaced by mockups.
Double Barreled Flintlock Pistol
What appears to be a double barreled flintlock pistol (possibly a mockup) is seen in one scene.
Tap-Action Flintlock Pistol
An quadruple Tap-Action Flintlock Pistol is briefly seen in several scenes.
Belgian E.I.C. Pattern
What appears to be a Belgian E.I.C. Pattern flintlock pistol is seen in hands of Jim Hawkins (Aare Laanemets) and then taken from him by Ben Gunn (Igor Klass).
Izhmekh IZh-18 (mocked up as flintlock pistol)
Most flintlock pistols in the film are IZh-18 shotguns with sawed-off barrels and buttstocks and fake flint locks, mocked up after M1809 Russian model. They are often seen firing, but the locks doesn't move, dispalying that they are mere mockups. Such pistols are used by most characters, including Jim Hawkins (Aare Laanemets), Long John Silver (Boris Andreyev), Dr. Livesey (Laimonas Noreika), Squire Trelawney (Algimantas Masiulis), Captain Smollett (Juozas Urmanavicius), Billy Bones (Kazimieras Vitkus), and George Merry (Vytautas Tomkus).
Muskets
Izhmekh IZh-18 (mocked up as flintlock musket)
Like pistols, flintlock muskets in the film are also visually modified IZh-18 shotguns. There are two models; first one, more often seen, has a shorter barrel and slightly flared muzzle; the second has intact long barrel of the original shotgun. Their flint locks also doesn't move when these guns fire.
Trivia
A naval cannon, used by pirates to fire at Captain Smollett's boat, appears to be not a mockup but a genuine carronade, Russian Navy model of early 19th century, supposedly in 8-pounder caliber.
