Defence of Sevastopol (Oborona Sevastopolya) is a Russian 1911 historical war film, depicting the events of the Siege of Sevastopol during the Crimean War (1854-1855). It was the first feature film made in the Russian Empire.
The following weapons were used in the film Defence of Sevastopol (Oborona Sevastopolya):
Handguns
Nagant M1895
A Russian officer carries a handgun in holster. The shape of the grip with lanyard ring and the shape of the holster allows to guess that this is Nagant M1895, the service sidearm of Russian army in the time of filming (and anachronistic for the Crimean War era).
Rifles
Mosin Nagant M1891
While the uniform of Russian, French, British and Turkish armies was reproduced accurately, the guns in hands of soldiers are anachronistic Mosin Nagant M1891 Infantry rifles.
Krnka M1869 Rifle
In one scene a Russian soldier holds what appears to be a Krnka M1869 Rifle rifle.
Trivia
A genuine naval cannon of Crimean War era is seen in several scenes. It appears to be 68-pounder Paixhans gun. Such cannons were mounted on Russian ships of the line and reused on defence of Sevastopol.
