The Last Hunt (Poslednyaya okhota) is a Soviet 1980 (filmed 1979) adventure movie directed by Igor Sheshukov. The story is set in 1920s on Chukotka, the most remote northeast area of Russia. An American seal hunter John Horsfield (Oleg Borisov) finds out that a large store of gold and furs is located in a Chukcha settlement. He plans to take this wealth by force. Local teacher Sergei (Yuriy Bogatyryov), pacifistically minded person, tries to convince Horsfield to leave, but at last he has to fight against the invaders.
The following weapons were used in the film The Last Hunt (Poslednyaya okhota):
During the final shootout Schulz's (Afanasiy Trishkin) Winchester 1895 switches to a sporterized Vetterli Model 1869/70 rifle. This gun has the handguard shortcut for most of its length, retain the original 11-shot tube magazine, and has the slightly shortened barrel. There is a possibility that same prop was used in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson (filmed by same studio and same year) to portray Col. Moran's airgun.
A Maxim machine gun is mounted on Red patrol boat in the opening scene. A Maxim is also seen on the camp of Red unit. Machine guns are seen only in distance, so it's impossible to identify the exact version (though M1910/30 is most credible).
