Velvet Season (Barkhatnyy sezon) is a 1978 Soviet-Swiss action movie directed by Vladimir Pavlovich. The story is set in Autumn 1938 in Southern France. After the International Brigades of Spanish Civil War are dissolved, a trio of former Brigades soldiers, Nicholas (Juozas Budraitis), Henri (Aleksandr Lazarev, Sr.) and Liz (Valentina Ignatyeva), stay for several days in a French seaside town to help the Red Cross nurse Marie (Tatyana Sidorenko) to deliver a group of refugee Spanish children to specially organised orphanage. Meanwile a local leader of French Nazi, Georges Grenier (Viktor Sergachyov) is arrested for several murders and centenced to death penalty. The Nazis under the command of Bernard (Algimantas Masiulis) plan to release their leader by taking hostages in marine station. Nicolas, Henri and Liz are the only ones who have a chance to break this plan.
The following weapons were used in the film Velvet Season (Barkhatnyy sezon):
Revolvers
Nagant M1895
Short-barreled
During the interrogation of captured Nicholas and in the final scene Bernard (Algimantas Masiulis) uses a nickel plated short-barreled Nagant M1895 revolver.
Standard
Bernard (Algimantas Masiulis) holds a standard Nagant M1895 revolver when his gang take hostages. In the final scene Liz (Valentina Ignatyeva) uses Bernard's revolver. This is Soviet post-1930 version, possibly standing for French Mle 1892 Revolver or original Belgian Nagant.
Pistols
Walther P38
Walther P38s are seen in hands of Bernard's henchmen in the scene on the shooting range. Some police officers also carry P38s. P38 was issued to German service only in 1939 and couldn't be seen in France in 1938.
Luger P08
A Luger P08 is seen in the scene on the shooting range.
FN Model 1922
Several of Bernard's henchmen are armed with FN Model 1922 pistols when they surprise Nicolas.
FN Model 1910
Some French police officers carry FN Model 1910 pistols.
Submachine Guns
MP40
Anachronistic MP40s are widely used by Spanish Republicans and by Bernard's henchmen. Nicholas (Juozas Budraitis), Henri (Aleksandr Lazarev, Sr.), Liz (Valentina Ignatyeva), and Henri's friends Francois (Lev Polyakov) and unnamed one (Viktor Filippov) use captured MP40s during the shootout with Bernard and his gang.
MP38
In the opening scene Liz holds an MP38, fitted with rear part of receiver, taken from MP40. The same prop is later seen in hands of Bernard's henchman. It is also used by Marie (Tatyana Sidorenko).
Rifles
Enfield P14
In the opening scene many Spanish Republicans are armed with Enfield Pattern 14 rifles. Same rifles are used by French police. In reality these rifles weren't used by any of these forces, but P14s were widely available for Soviet film studios, having a distinctive "foreign" outlook.
Winchester Model 1895
Winchester Model 1895 rifles are also used by Spanish Republicans. This match the reality as at least 9,000 Russian contract M1895s was provided from USSR to Spain.
1893 Spanish Mauser
Several rifles that appear to be genuine 1893 Spanish Mausers are seen in the opening scene.
Mannlicher M1895
A French policeman holds a rifle that appears to be a Mannlicher M1895.
Machine Guns
PKM (visually modified to resemble MG34)
In the opening scene Henri (Aleksandr Lazarev, Sr.) carries a PKM machine gun, visually modified to resemble MG34. Such prop is also mounted on a plane of Spanish Nationalists or Legion Condor (the plane itself isn't seen, only the barrel and belt of the machine gun).
Maxim M1910
A Russian Maxim M1910 is seen among the weapons of Spanish Republicans. Again it is fitting weapon as no less then 2,500 Russian Maxims were delivered from USSR and Poland.
Trivia
Toy Pistol
A Spanish boy carries a toy pistol. The toy plays a notable role in one scene.
