Almanzor's Rings (Koltsa Almanzora) is a Soviet 1978 (filmed 1977) fantasy adventure movie directed by Igor Voznesensky and based on theater play "Tin Rings" by Tamara Gabbe. Dowager Queen of a fictional state plans marriage of her two daughters. But Princesse Augusta has very viscious temper, and Princesse Aleli is considered to be foolish as she always says what she thinks. So Queen asks wizard Almanzor for help. The wizard creates two rings that would give their owners what they lacked. But pirates captain Mukhamiel who recently lost his ship in a wreck gets aware about the rings, so he abducts both princesses. Zenziver, the palace gardener, who falls in love with Aleli, makes a daring attempt to rescue them.
The following weapons were used in the film Almanzor's Rings (Koltsa Almanzora):
Pistols
Over and Under Howdah Pistol
When Zenziver (Mikhail Kononov) secretly infiltrates pirates' camp, he is armed with a percussion cap over and under Howdah pistol. Zenziver also uses this gun during the confrontation with queen's guards in the climactic scene. Same prop is also seen in some other scenes, carried by pirates.
Double Barreled Pistol
Pirates captain Mukhamiel (Leonid Kanevskiy) owns an ornate double barreled pistol in Oriental style. Its lock is never seen clear enough to inentify it as flintlock or percussion cap. Same pistol is carried by pirate Rakhmet (Valentin Golubenko), and then by Princesse Augusta (Lyudmila Dmitrieva), disguised as pirate.
Zenziver: Yes, like a real pirate!
Flintlock Pistol
Captain's mate Kokhinur (Yakov Belenkiy) carries a Flintlock Pistol in Oriental style. Possibly same pistol is used by midget pirate (Vladimir Fyodorov).
Shotguns
IZh-18 (visually modified as pistol)
Except for abovementioned pistols, all other handguns in the movie are visually modified single barreled shotguns, most likely IZh-18, with sawed-off barrels and buttstocks and fitted with fake flintlocks (some with percussion cap locks). In one scene Zenziver, in need of gunpowder, opens one of these top-break "pistols", proving its shotgun origin. Only these guns are seen firing on screen.
Note: see additional images on talk page.
Single Barreled Shotgun (visually modified as blunderbuss)
A Blunderbuss, reused in several scenes, appears to be a mockup, based on a shotgun, like IZh-18 or similar gun.
Muskets
Various muskets, briefly seen in several scenes, also appear to be based on single barreled shotguns.
