Hussar Ballad (Gusarskaya ballada) is a Soviet 1962 adventure comedy directed by Eldar Ryazanov. The story takes place in 1812, during Napoleon's invasion of Russia. Shura Azarova, a young girl from a noble family, dresses herself as a Hussar officer and joins the Russian Army to fight against the invaders.
The following weapons were used in the film Hussar Ballad (Gusarskaya ballada):
Percussion Cap Pistols, standing for more appropriated flintlock pistols, are seen in hands of various characters, including Shura Azarova and Rzhevsky.
Russian and French soldiers are armed with fake flintlock muskets that appear to be Berdan No.2 rifles with removed bolt handles and sights. Some of these guns are fitted with fake flint locks, this props are seen close, while the guns at the background are less detailed.
Ivan (Nikolai Kryuchkov) carries a percussion cap carbine that is supposed to be Lorenz Dornstutzen M1854. Similar carbine is briefly seen in other scenes, possibly it's the same prop.
A pair of oriental flintlock muskets in so called "Circassian" (Caucasian mountain tribe) style is used as a decoration in Azarov's house. These are possibly genuine guns, often used as a decoration in wealthy houses in Russian Empire.
