Then, here is a pseudo shashka from me

The hilt is goat's horn. The iron expand of the blade goes until the end of the hilt, nearly have the shape of it. The places of the rivets can give a clue. The "ears" of the hilt are not as usual.

The fuller is strange, and one can note the strange curve where the fuller begins. The blade narrows after the fuller, and slightly expands after it, as if there is a kind of "yalman". I have never seen any parallels of this one

Someone told me that this was "one of the earliest examples of shashkas", but I did not buy it (if only it was )

Best.
