Vabank is a 1981 Polish criminal comedy film directed by Juliusz Machulski, set in interwar Poland. This film tells the story of Henryk Kwinto (Jan Machulski), a legendary safe cracker. Kwinto make a plan to get revenge on a ruthless and criminal bank president Gustaw Kramer (Leonard Pietraszak) who is responsible for the death of Kwinto's old friend Tadeusz. The movie was followed by a sequel Vabank II.
The following weapons were used in the film Vabank:
An unusual version of Nagant M1895 revolver is seen through the movie. While mostly looking like a standard Russian or Polish Nagant, it has a different shape of the front side of the frame, similar to the one used on target versions of Nagant, and a short ejector rod. The revolver appears to be a single movie prop, wielded by various characters and fitted with two different sound suppressors.
Jan Rożek (Henryk Bista), an old man who was deceived by Kramer, uses an old Italian Glisenti M1874 revolver to try to shoot the banker in his own cabinet.
Gustaw Kramer (Leonard Pietraszak) carries a Ruby pistol. Alkartasuna Ruby, one of numerous clones of original Star pistol, perfectly matches the screen gun.
