The Last Deed of Kamo (Russian title Posledniy podvig Kamo, Armenian title Kamoyi verjin skhranqe) is a Soviet Armenian 1974 (filmed 1973) adventure movie directed by Erazm Karamyan and Stepan Kevorkov. This is the third and last film of the trilogy about Armenian Bolshevik Simon Ter-Petrosian, better known by his nom de guerre Kamo. It follows Personally Known (Lichno izvesten) (1958) and An Extraordinary Assignment (Chrezvychajnoe poruchenie) (1966). In early 1920s Kamo, impersonating White Army Col. Zalenyan, appears in Persia (nowadays Iran) in order to counter the anti-Soviet activities of Armenian Dashnaks (members of Dashnaktsutiun, Armenian nationalist party that was in exile after the Soviet takeover of indepenent Armenia).


The following weapons were used in the film The Last Deed of Kamo (Posledniy podvig Kamo):


Revolvers

Nagant M1895

Kamo (Gurgen Tonunts) carries a Nagant M1895 revolver during his mission in Persia, acting under the name of Colonel Suren Zalenyan. Nagants are also seen in hands of former White officer Rotmistr (Capt.) Boba Dokutovich (Igor Bezyaev), Armen Adalyan (Ovanes Vanyan), and customs official Akopov (a cameo of film director Stepan Kevorkov) who appears to be the leader of "Dashnaks" secret organisation Mangasarov.
