Talk:The Captain's Daughter

Title

This film was released under the English title The Captain’s Daughter (like the title of the original novel), and the rules say that the English-release title goes first. Greg-Z (talk) 11:56, 29 April 2014 (EDT)

Gun images

Hi! Welcome to IMFDB and thanks for adding this interesting movie. Please don't forget to add a gun image above the screenshots, just an example (like I did) will do if you are not sure. For the canon I could not find anything really. Other members can suggest better images later on, PeeWee055 (talk) 12:34, 29 April 2014 (EDT)

Pistol

The pistol is not the M1808 model as it has a ramrod. Also the pistol in the movie has a plate on the left side identical to this one. If you want a decent pic of 18th century Russian pistols like the one in the movie check this, this and this (Русский кирасирский пистолет обр.1731) or just google тульский драгунский кремневый пистолет. --Nanomat (talk) 19:24, 27 January 2020 (EST)

Late versions of M1809 had ramrod inserted in the stock, like this one. Russian pistols of pre-1809 models are quite rare, they are seen only in museums, while M1809 was produced for more than thirty years and currently is most available of Russian flintlock models. --Greg-Z (talk) 09:26, 28 January 2020 (EST)

Kinda late answer but still here it is. I also agree that the it is highly unlikely that they used a genuine pre-1800s pistol, BUT check the plate/detailing or whatever it should be called on the left side of this pistol here. It's the same as the one seen in the movie. The pistol I show is allegedly from 1803, but it is clear that it is of the pre-Napoleonic style reforms in the Russian weapon industry. I also found this exact design of other Tula pistols from 18th century, so this makes me believe that the movie makers somehow got themselves a genuine 18th century Russian pistol.--Nanomat (talk) 18:45, 15 February 2020 (EST)
