Assault on the Secret Police (a direct translation of original Latvian title Uzbrukums slepenpolicijai, Russian title Napadeniye na taynuyu politsiyu) is a Soviet Latvian 1976 (filmed 1975) historical adventure movie directed by Olgerts Dunkers and based on a novel by Alberts Bels which is in turn loosely based on actual events that happened in Riga in January 1906, during the Russian revolution 1905-1907. One of the leaders of Latvian Social Democratic revolutionaries, Janis Luters (Girts Jakovlevs), who poses as a merchant Adolfs Karlsons, is arrested by police and hold in the Riga Police Department building (in the movie - "Secret Police Department"). A group of revolutionaries commits the assault on police and releases Luters.
Note: the movie was released only on VHS hence the mediocre quality of the film.
The following weapons were used in the film Assault on the Secret Police (Uzbrukums slepenpolicijai):
Revolvers
Nagant M1895
Nagant M1895 revolvers are widely used by Russian Imperial police and gendarmes personnel and army officers. Revolvers are of post-1930 version.
Pistols
FN Model 1900
An FN Model 1900 pistol is used by a secret police agent Spicausis (Vaironis Jakans) to assassinate a police official in order to blame the revolutionaries. Possibly this is the same nickel plated pistol that is seen in several other Riga Film Studio productions, like Death Under Sail.
CZ 27
Anachronistic CZ 27 pistols (probably a single prop reused in several scenes) are seen in hands of Janis Luters (Girts Jakovlevs) and of several secret police agents. Possibly this is the same gun that is seen in several other Riga Film Studio productions, like Unfinished Supper (Nezakonchennyy uzhin).
Mauser M1934
An equally anachronistic Mauser M1934 pocket pistol, hidden in a loaf of bread, is sent to Janis Luters (Girts Jakovlevs). The shape of the slide serration matches M1910/34 version in 6.35mm (.25 ACP) caliber.
Mauser C96
Revolutionaries Janis Coke alias "Dashing" (Arnis Licitis), Gederts Eliass alias Straume (Roland Zagorskis), Jekabs Dubelsteins alias Jepis (Edmunds Freibergs) and Martins (uncredited) use Mauser C96 pistols during the assault.
Rifles
Mosin Nagant M1891
Russian Army soldiers are armed with Mosin Nagant M1891 rifles with bayonets.
Mosin Nagant M1891/30
Russian Army soldiers are also armed with Mosin Nagant M1891/30 rifles with bayonets, standing for original M91s.
