Maksimka (also released in English as Maximka) is a Soviet 1953 (filmed 1952) adventure movie directed by Vladimir Braun and based on short story by Konstantin Stanyukovich. In 1864 Russian Imperial Navy corvette Bogatyr during the voyage in Atlantic saves an African boy, the only survivor from sunken slave ship. The boy is adopted by the crew and named Maksimka (diminutive from the name Maksim or Maxim). He especially befriends with sailor Luchkin and helps to save his friend when Luchkin was shanghaied.
The following weapons were used in the film Maksimka:
Revolvers
Glisenti M1874
The captain of slave ship Betsy (Mikhail Astangov) carries a pair of revolvers, one of those is a Glisenti M1874. Possibly this is the same gun, seen in several other Kiev/Dovzhenko Film Studios production, like Zigmund Kolosovskiy, Restless Youth (Trevozhnaya molodost) and Zelyonyy Furgon.
Lefaucheux Model 1858
Second revolver of the captain appears to be a Lefaucheux revolver, most likely a Lefaucheux Model 1858. The revolver lacks its extractor rod. Possibly this is the same gun, seen in several other Kiev/Dovzhenko Film Studios production, like Restless Youth (Trevozhnaya molodost).
Smith & Wesson .44 Double Action
The captain's mate (Emmanuil Geller) also carries two revolvers. One of these revolvers appears to be a Smith & Wesson .44 Double Action model or one of its European clones.
Unidentified revolver
The mate's second revolver is of unclear model. Possibly it's also a Smith & Wesson top-break revolver.
Other Weapons
Flintlock Musket Mockup
Flintlock muskets of the crew of Russian Imperial Navy corvette Bogatyr appear to be crude mockups.
Smoothbore muzzleloading naval cannons on Bogatyr look very realistic, they even recoil when firing. They are about the size of a 12-pounder.
