Ariel, I understand better now what you were getting at. When I first read your original reply I thought first of "mythical", then the word's second meaning being "illusion/delusion" and wondered if you were implying it was a recently constructed composite piece, which clearly it is not.
I gotcha now! |

Another, Infantry Sidearm, now mine, cast brass hilt, Yataghan blade 58cm. of flattened diamond x-section, unfullered, brass hand grip grooved on the outer side, smooth on inner (to same uniform wear?). Seller thinks it is Russian or possibly Hungarian. Will check for other markings when it arrives.
