The blade has unsharpened ricasso.
In the absense of personal examination, I would suggest 2 possibilities: industrial European blade or ( more likely, IMHO) Indian " tulwar" blade. The handle is improvised, definitely not of a Caucasian style. In summary: IMHO it is not a shashka. My verdict ( purely personal opinion): it is an assembled item of recent manufacture.
