'''Alaska Kid''' (Polish title ''Zloto Alaski'' ("Gold of Alaska") is a 1993 co-production German-Polish-Russian adventure TV series based on the short stories anthology ''Smoke Bellew'' (1912) by [[Jack London]], set during the Klondike Gold Rush in Alaska.

== Custom Nagant M1895 ==
A pair of custom [[Nagant M1895]]s are used throughout the series, seen in hands of various characters, including Chris "Alaska Kid" Bellew ([[Mark Pillow]]), Shorty ([[Donovan Scott]]), Sprague ([[Edward Zentara]]) and Stine ([[Aleksandr Kuznetsov (III)|Aleksandr Kuznetsov]]) (these two characters, episodic in the original work, in the series turned into recurring villains, the main enemies of the main characters). The revolvers have heavy long barrels, possibly of a target version, and wide Colt-style grips. The result distantly resembles such revovlers as [[Colt New Army & Navy]] or [[Colt New Service]], fitting for Alaska gold fever era.

== Nagant M1895 ==
Standard [[Nagant M1895]]s are also seen in the series. These revolvers are of post-1930 version.

[[Smith & Wesson No.3 Russian Model]] revolvers are used by a one-eyed bandit in Ep.2 and by Stine ([[Aleksandr Kuznetsov (III)|Aleksandr Kuznetsov]]) in Ep.13.

[[File:Alaska Kid-E2-SWRussian-3.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Another view of the revolver.

[[File:Alaska Kid-E8-Revolver-1.jpg|thumb|none|500px|What appears to be a Smith & Wesson Russian model revolver is seen in Shorty's holster on the wall of a hotel room where Kid and Shorty stay (Ep.8).

In Ep.11 one of Big Jim's henchmen uses a [[Webley .38 Mk IV|Webley .38 Mk IV "Duty" model]] revolver. Later in same episode same revolver is seen in hands of a swindler, posing himself as British Duke Robert Somerset ([[John Phillip Law]]), and his "sister" Victoria ([[Edie Lehmann Boddicker]]).
