Wedding in Malinovka (Svadba v Malinovke) (1967).
Wedding in Malinovka (Svadba v Malinovke) is a 1967 Soviet comedy movie by Andrei Tutyshkin. The story takes place in an Ukrainian village during the Russian Civil war.
The following weapons are seen in the movie Wedding in Malinovka (Svadba v Malinovke):
Handguns
Nagant M1895 Revolver
Nagant M1895 revolvers are seen in hands of several characters including Red Army commander Nazar Duma (Vladimir Samojlov), the chief of brigands Gritsian (Grigori Abrikosov) and Yashka the Artilleryman (Mikhail Pugovkin).
Nagant M1895 Revolver - 7.62x38N cartridge (aka 7.62 Nagant ammo). This example was dated 1939 manufacture and was a War time Issued weapon. Note the angular front sight which was used from 1930s.
Gritsian (
Grigori Abrikosov) with his Nagant revolver. Note the unusual position of the ramrod which can be seen in several movies. This is a common defect of old revolvers.

Compact Smith & Wesson Revolver
