Dear friends,
Asking for your help with identification of the markings on the knife blade.
This knife was found in Russia.
Looks like 17th century.

Hi Jasper!
There are definitely two letters "SZ" on the blade, but I'm not sure about the "crown".. :confused:

You're right, it Looks like crown over the letters SZ.
