[[TT-33]] pistols are service sidearms of Soviet officers. Capt. Pavel Alyokhin ([[Yevgeny Mironov]]), Sr. Lt. Evgeniy Tamantsev ([[Vladislav Galkin]]) and Lt. Andrey Blinov ([[Yuri Kolokolnikov]]) use their TT-33s in action. In the climactic scene Tamantsev dual-wields a TT-33 and a [[Nagant M1895]] revolver (in the original novel Tamantsev is armed with two Nagants). The trio of German spies in Soviet uniform - Mishchenko ([[Aleksandr Baluev]]) alias Capt. Yelatomtsev, Sergey alias Lt. Vasin (Aleksandr Efimov) and unnamed one alias Sr.Lt. Chubarov ([[Yuriy Pristrom]]) - also use TT-33 pistols (in the original novel their sidearms are described as "Browning Long 07, similar in shape and size with TT" - no doubt it means [[FN Model 1903]], "07" is a reference to Swedish version Husqvarna 1907). Many other Generals and officers (Gen. Lt. Yegorov ([[Aleksey Petrenko]]), Lt. Col. Polyakov (Aleksandr Feklistov) and others) carry TT holsters but they look flat and empty. | |||
