The Adjutant of His Excellency (Adyutant ego prevoskhoditelstva) is a Soviet 1969 mini-series directed by Evgeniy Tashkov. The story is set in 1919-1920, during the Russian civil war. Pavel Andreevitch Koltsov (Yuriy Solomin), an agent of Red intellegence service, infiltrates the White Volunteer Army and becomes an adjutant to General Kovalevsky (Vladislav Strzhelchik). He successfully performs several operations, including the uncover of the White agent in Reds headquarters, but at last Koltsov has to expose his true identity when he destroys the train that delivers British tanks, sent to White troops, to frontline.
The following weapons were used in the film The Adjutant of His Excellency (Adyutant ego prevoskhoditelstva):
Note: as there are too many Nagant-wielding characters, some screenshots are placed on talk page.
Pistols
Mauser C96
In Ep.1 Ataman Angel (Anatoli Papanov) carries a Mauser C96 pistol. During the escape of a group of Whites and Reds, previously captured by Angel's men, Ataman's Mauser is seen in hands of Capt. Evgeniy Rostovtsev (Valentin Smirnitskiy). A number of holstered Mausers can be seen among the guns, delivered by Miron Osadchy to White agents in Kiev.
Mauser C96 M1930
Anachronistic Mauser C96 M1930 is a personal handgun of Cheka operative Semyon Krasilnikov (Evgeniy Shutov) (in one scene he is seen with a Nagant revolver instead of his usual Mauser). A C96 M1930 is also used by one of Angel's brigans.
M1911A1
In Ep. 1 a White officer holds a pistol that appears to be an M1911A1. Probably the same gun is also seen among the guns, delivered by Miron Osadchy to White agents in Kiev. An A1 would be anachronistic, but at the distance it passes for a temporally accurate, if unlikely, pre-A1.
Ortgies 7.65mm Pocket Pistol
What appears to be an anachronistic Ortgies 7.65mm pistol is also seen among the guns, delivered by Miron Osadchy to White agents in Kiev.
Rifles
Mosin Nagant M1891/30
Mosin Nagant M1891/30 rifles, standing for original M91s, are widely used by Reds, Whites and brigands.
Mosin Nagant M1891
Some original Mosin Nagant M1891 rifles are seen. Angel's brigand Antosha (Aleksandr Kuznetsov) carries an M91 Infantry rifle. A Dragoon rifle is seen in hands of a White soldier.
Several of Angel's brigands, notably Pavlo (Mikhail Kokshenov), are armed with "obrez" sawed-off rifles.
Shotguns
Berdan Shotgun
One of Angel's brigands, Nikita (Yuri Medvedev), is armed with a "Berdanka" bolt action shotgun. The shape of the stock and bolt handle allows to differ it from later "Frolovka" shotguns, based on Mosin Nagant rifles.
A tachanka cart with Maxim M1910 machine gun is used during the escape from Angel's gang.
Other Weapons
Flintlock Pistol
Antiquarian weapons are seen in the house of archaeologist Startsev (Evgeniy Teterin). Among them is a flintlock pistol of general Oriental outlook.
Ottoman Musket
An Ottoman musket is also seen in Startsev's collection.
Trivia
Holsters
The series shows a wide variety of handgun holsters, including some anachronistic.
Artillery
76.2mm M1902 field guns are seen in several scenes.
Tanks
British tanks, issued to White troops, are seen in the final episode. These are full-size mockups of Mark V Composite. Probably the mockups are based on genuine Mark V Composites, preserved in Lugansk and Kharkov museums.
