The movie wasn't digitally restored so the quality of the screenshots is mediocre.


The following weapons were used in the film Aleksandr Parkhomenko:


Handguns

Nagant M1895

Nagant M1895 revolvers are used by various Reds and Whites, including Aleksandr Parkhomenko (Aleksandr Khvylya) who often carries a Nagant as a backup weapon for his main sidearm, a Mauser C96.

Rifles

Mosin Nagant M1891

Both Red and White Army soldiers carry original Mosin Nagant M1891 rifles, generally fitted with bayonets. Infantry and Dragoon versions of the rifle can be seen. M1891 rifles, fitted with sword bayonets, are used by Imperial German infantry instead of their service Mauser Gewehr 98 rifles (Note: While this substitution was supposedly caused by the lack of Mausers, it has some historical truth as numerous captured Russian rifles were converted for using German 7.92 mm cartridges and fitted with German-style sword bayonets. In such configuration former M91s found some service.).
