The biography of Dundich is highly controversial; the movie follows the version that Dundich was born in Austro-Hungary and became a Hussar NCO during the World War 1.

In 1917 Dundich joined Red Guards and then became a cavalry commander in 1st Cavalry Army until his death in battle in July 1920.
The following weapons were used in the film Oleko Dundich:
Mauser C96 pistols are seen in hands of several Reds, notably Dragich (Ljuba Tadic) and Palich (Dragomir Felba), Serb cavalrymen of Dundich's international unit. High commanders of 1st Cavalry Army, Kliment Yefremovich Voroshilov (Vladimir Troshin) and Semyon Mikhailovich Budyonny (Lev Sverdlin), carry Mauser C96 pistols in holsters.
In the scene when Dundich (Branko Pleša) poses as French Army Capt. Derville, he holds a pistol that resembles an FN Model 1910 but looks smaller and with slightly different appearance. Similar looking pistol is seen in hands of White Army Col. Bobrov (Evgeniy Samoylov).
In several scenes Lt. Col. (later Col.) Pavle Hodzich (Milan Puzic), the head of White Army counterintelligence service, and some other White Army officers carry pistols that resembles FN Model 1922.
Several White Army and French Army officers and generals carry pistols in holsters. Some of these pistols are possibly the ones, described above and reused in other scenes.
Mosin Nagant Rifles are used by numerous Reds and Whites. These rifles are a mix of M91 Dragoons and M91/30s. Only in some cases the model can be identified exactly.
Maxim M1910 machine guns are seen mounted on Red Army tachanka horse carts (possibly it's a single prop, as all M1910s have very similary battered barrel jackets).
Maxim M1910/30 machine guns, standing for M1910s, are seen mounted on Red Army tachanka horse carts, on Red armoured train and on White armoured cars. Both pre- and post-1940 versions are seen.
