[QUOTE=Ibrahiim al Balooshi]Salaams Madsen, Welcome to the Forum (+seasons greetings !)

Please have a look at Military Museum Pictures ~ which is currently on the first page ~ by Erlikhan and you will see a Shashka or Shaska from the Caucasus in the Topkapi museum. Looks like yours essentially. What material is the green decoration..metal? or some sort of clossonne' effect.

Thank you for replying! Yes one of the swords in the pictures is similar design but still not as straight as this sword. The straight design is very unusual for a caucasian blade. I believe the sword is from end 19th century, so I wouldn't say its "fresh". There are no markings. I cant tell what the green glossy parts are made of so thoughts would be appreciated
