Unique silver technique (handles & scabbards)

[DenisVT]

Yes, both absolutely functional.
I have to correct topic. The issue is:
In Kremlin (Orujeinaya palata) saved several ceremonial (personal) sabers of Russian tsars (XVII c.). Two of them produced with silver foil craft – imitation of ray skin. Handle of one and fragment of scabbard of another one, you may see on upper picture.
At the same time we have saber from Lvov Armenian’ armourers (my opinion), that use the same technique (feel the connection?). You can see it on the lower pictures. Now I am trying to search additional argue to suggest relations between Kremlin and Lvov armourers.
One of such fact is that one of the famous tsar' saber of 1618 (without this technique!), made by armourer Illya Prosvit (see the last, bottom foto in this topic) – Russian historians think, that he was from Lvov.
