Yustas, could we see a picture of the entire sword. It helps to have context.
The marking looks very much like a European cypher known as a ligature, three entwined initials often topped by a crown. This seems primarily 18th century affectation, and if on a Cossack sword may be a heirloom or award blade. All best regards, Jim |
