I am quibbling about the "gurda" mark.
The blade is of Russian manufacture, and even has a name etched on it , something like " Neizvil" , in Cylrillic, but I just cannot see it clearly. Please note that the "gurda" was placed on top of the already existing fullers. It must be a later addition to the blade.
