Might they be F1 grenades?
I don't have a good eye for firearms in general, but I would guess a Nagant M1895 just by like, probability/availability. Also I think that's a loading gate on the side of it, which would be unusual in other revolvers of this period.
In the morning light of sobriety I only regret that I didn't call him Ivan, as distant equivalent to John.
Good spot on the F1s. Like a Mk 2 with a stovepipe hat. We lost some aura once grenades became plastic bottles full of semtex and concertina wire.
