Smith & Wesson .44 Double Action

Wealthy merchant Tryphon Stepanovich Perfilyev (Nikolai Gritsenko) gives to his manservant Ignatiy (Georgi Vitsin) a nickel plated Smith & Wesson .44 Double Action revolver with pearl grips (most likely not original S&W but a European, possibly Spanish clone). Larer Ilyin (Vladislav Dvorzhetsky) uses Ignatiy's revolver. This revolver may be the same weapon that appears in several other Mosfilm productions, like Shvedskaya spichka, Semeynoe schastye, and Zhestokiy romans.
