Gentelmen,
I submit to you what is if I am not mistaken a mutation of a Russian cavalry officer saber M.1817
I would like to know anything you could tell me about the blade. I am totally ignorant on the subject of Georgian weapons. I cannot decypher the initials of the original owner as well as one of the the inscriptions.
Where in the Caucassus has this blade been made?
Please notice the "gurda" mark as well as the maker's name.
On the pommel a Polish "Jastrzebiec" family coat of arms and owner's initials. Note that the initials are in Latin and not Cirilic what could testify to where the man's loyalties laid...
