Mauser C96
Agents-provocateurs of Estonian Internal Security Service (Kaitsepolitseiamet or KaPo) "A" (Rudolf Allabert) and "B" (Robert Gutman) use Mauser C96 pistols with attached holster-stocks when they kill Sommer who was allegedly released from prison.
Walther P38
After the assassination of Sommer agents "A" and "B" are in turn killed by other KaPo agents, one of which is armed with out of time Walther P38.
Nagant M1895
During the assassination of agents "A" and "B" the second murderer is armed with a Nagant M1895 revolver.
Trivia
Holsters
Members of Tallinn Court-martial carry holsters for TT-33 pistols, out of time and out of place. Most likely the holsters are empty.
