Fantastic blade!
I think this is the first one I have seen in all the years. Can you show the entire blade and the "trimmings"? |

RSWORD,
Many thanks for showing us this blade. Any idea of its hardness near the edge? A bit of very judicious filing could tell us a lot... Cheers Chris |

Wow-wow. Russian cossack shashka of asiatic type ? I guess this is the ultimate thing for any collector of russian military swords.

very nice blade
- the pattern is nice and tight... looks small aswell... so it is possible to say that is was not a long cooled ingot... much like some of the Indian steels... .. -it would cut well the color of the etch is different.... does it look more black than blue ?... its hard to tell very nice Greg |
