Shotguns

TOZ-B Double Barreled Shotgun

In several scenes Boris Shmelyov (Vladimir Zeldin), his unnamed companion (Ivan Voronov), old forester Grigory Fedotov (Nikolai Khryashchikov), and Valentin Volgin (Vsevolod Platov) are seen with Double Barreled Shotguns with exposed hammers. TOZ-B, a venerable shotgun that was manufactured from 1902, is the most possible guess for mid-1950s.
