Rast-Gasser M1898 Revolver

Austrian Rast-Gasser M1898 revolver is seen in hands of Artur Arturovich (Vladimir Basov). In the final scene General Charnota (Mikhail Ulyanov) also appears with Rast-Gasser instead of his Nagant (this may be a production error). Rast-Gasser revolver can be identified due to its typical side located ramrod.
