Family Happiness (Semeynoe schastye) is a 1969 Soviet comedy movie based on several short stories by Anton Chekhov. It depicts various tragicomical situations in life of several families in late 19th century Russia.


The following weapons were used in the film Family Happiness (Semeynoe schastye):


Handguns

Nagant M1895 Revolver

A bright, presumably nickel plated Nagant M1895 revolver is held by Ivan Shupaltsev (Nikolay Burlyaev) as he contemplates suicide. Another bright Nagant revolver (it must be the same movie prop) is seen in the gun store when Fyodor Sigayev (Andrey Mironov) decides to purchase a gun.

Smith & Wesson Revolver

What may be a Smith & Wesson New Model No.3 with pearl grips is seen in the gun shop. Supposedly it is a Spanish or Belgian copy in .38 caliber. It may be the same weapon that appears in The Sannikov Land four years later.

Flintlock Pistol

A flintlock pistol is seen in gun store. Due to the general crude outlook, the pistol is possibly a mockup with fake flint lock.
