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 on other Tula pistols from the 18th century, so this makes me believe that the movie makers somehow got themselves a genuine 18th century Russian pistol. Also bear in mind that they somehow had genuine mid 18th century Russian fusils (or at least some replicas) which is probably one of the rarest flintlock muskets ever. --Nanomat (talk) 18:45, 15 February 2020 (EST)
