Spotting a "time-traveling" Russian sword

Well, even Michael Jackson got a shashka "for bravery", so I guess these guys are somewhat available

.

But this fake is actually something I fear way more than chinese - a single guy in eastern europe who decides to cook up some antiquities from spare parts can do way more damage than all chinese with their "damascus" nihonto, wildly burned by acid.

I don't know anything about these daggers, but the blade of the one you showed resembles the blade of a French Lebel bajonet (1886-1915).

Michael Jackson ia verry brave man. He was seen in court with an extremely rare serbian bravery order around his neck - The White Eagle order with swords, III class, around his neck, about a year ago
