Thanks Teodor i think you are right.
I have already got a classic KKV kindjal, there is one pic of it here: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=14753 I think that what made me confused, is that on the new kindjal the writing is following the blade, but in the old one, it is written across the blade... Thanks HB |

Oh, I see now. ЗОФ stands for Златоустовская Оружейная Фабрика: Zlatoust Weapons Factory.

I have second thoughts about the KKV etching on the last picture I know that it is turned upside down. I see ?KV.... could this be from some other cossack army than the Kuban ? Best Henrik |

It is very worn-off, but I imagine I can see TKB, Terskoe Kazach'e Vojsko: Terek Cossack Troop.
