Khevsurian sword

Hello Jim! Glad to hear from you.
There are enough of both types of pictures ,those that were staged at the studio or even outside and those that had been taken in real locations. Each year more pictures surface up from various sources –local museums, family archives. There yet more information to uncover. I always keep my eyes open

as well as for written materials. Have I mentioned memoirs I found this time ? Traveling notes by the scetchist painter that was with Russian regiments during Caucasian operations and witnessed some curious customs of Tushin and Khevsuriam militia regiments?
Interesting psychological study of the time ha ha ha

I doubt that any such work will turn up occasionaly since it is very rear , but just in case here are the following.
"likokeli blade"
Note the kind of oval made of two semicirkles facing each oter and joined in figure (dont remember the name of such figure in English). Note that curves of "oval" are smooth unlike "eyelashes" that are distinct for "gorda" blades. This "ovals" tilted and arranged in a row runs along the blade length and end up where "sashari" or double edged shurpened tongue of the blade began.
Above is distinctevly Likokelis signature work.
