The date ( barely seen) isn't it 1331? 1912 Gregorian. Last good days of Russia.... It went downhill from there on....

Hey Ariel,
Very interesting about the crown meaning Russian aristocracy, do you have a reference for that?
The 1331 date, seems like it would read 3113 and hence not be a date. Although 1912 would seem to fit the time period this kindjal could be made.
Was thinking the numbers/letters may indicate a regiment or unit, do you think that is a possibility?
