Default Russian Shaska

Hi all!

Here is some photos of my shaska-sable. It is my grandfathers
war-memory...taken autum 1941 fight place "Porlammen Motti"
in Finnish Carelia-if you put name "Porlammen Motti" to google-there
You'll find history of that battle...On finnish language..

I got this shaska about 50 years ago-it was my grandfathers will.

But the shaska itself.There are some marks on blade-but I don't
understand them. This knopf of sable is a bit diffrent brass lejering
than other brass parts-an to me has been told that Russian Army modernized older Empire time sables just changing old "Two head eagle" knopfs to "CCCP-knopf".

Does stamps of blade
tell anything of that "facta"-I mean that what is factory they made this one?
And is it mainly end of 1800' ...something 1891---later ?

Have anyone better knowledge of this?

Best regards Markku
