Here is a Tsarist-era Dragoon Officer Shashka.

Zlatoust manufacture.

Interestingly has a Cyrillic 'G' carved on the grip by an early owner.

Very clean overall, not at all heavy in hand or scabbard.

I like taking clean photos in natural light. My one reservation in sharing pics as a reference, is that such pics may help fakers. On the other hand, they can serve as reference to buyers looking to buy wisely.
