It seems like all of these pommels could moonlight as doorknobs.

Is this shashka actually an Ottoman saber?

I recently picked this up from an ebay auction thinking it was a shashka variant with an unexplained screw at the end and an unreadable maker's mark. The scabbard fits fell and didn't seem out of...

It looks a little bit like some if the old time black powder log splitters that I've come across. I've seen some that are less "wedge" and more like a screw.

Victorian reproduction sword "practice problem"
