Knight Without Armour

Knight Without Armour is a 1937 British adventure movie directed by Jacques Feyder and starring Marlene Dietrich and Robert Donat. The plot is set in Russia before WWI and then during the Russian Civil War. A. J. Fothergill (Robert Donat), an agent of the British intelligence service, infiltrates the Russian revolutionary group under the name of Peter Ouranoff. After a failed attempt on Gen. Vladinoff, he is arrested and sent to Siberia. After the Russian Revolution of 1917, Fothergill/Ouranoff is freed and meets Gen. Vladinoff's daughter, Alexandra (Marlene Dietrich), who is arrested by the Bolsheviks. After numerous dangers, the pair escape from both Reds and Whites and at last leaves the war-torn Russia.

== Various revolvers ==
Both Reds and Whites carry various revolvers in holsters. These guns aren't identified.
= Pistols =
== Mauser C96 ==
Mauser C96 pistols are widely used throughout the movie, used by Fothergill/Ouranoff (Robert Donat), Alexandra Adraxine (Marlene Dietrich), Russian Imperial police, and Bolsheviks.
== Mauser C96 "Large Ring Hammer" ==
One of the Bolsheviks, escorting an arrested Alexandra, is armed with a Mauser C96 "Large Ring Hammer" pistol (later he holds a Wartime Commercial model of C96). What appears to be the same model of C96 is seen in the hands of a Gorodovoy of Sankt-Peterburg police during the attempt on General Vladinoff.
== Mauser C96 "Rework" Model ==
Another Bolshevik escorting Alexandra is armed with a Mauser C96 "Rework" Model pistol. It has a post-war grip with side-to-side lanyard ring and short barrel like the "Bolo" model but without the barrel band on the muzzle that allows to identify the pistol as a "Rework" rather than a specially built "Bolo".
= Rifles =
== Mosin Nagant M1891 Infantry ==
Russian Imperial soldiers, revolutionary soldiers and sailors, and personnel of the White and Red Armies are armed with Mosin Nagant M1891 rifles, mostly, if not all, Infantry models. Many rifles have the slings attached on swivels rather than in slots that indicate the early version of M1891 Infantry rifle.
== Karabiner 98AZ ==
Several of the Reds carry Karabiner 98AZ rifles.
== Mannlicher M1895 ==
During the battle for the (fictional) town of Zaratursk, some of the Red Army men carry Mannlicher M1895 rifles.
