Antique Qajar Persian Cossack Islamic Sword Shashka after Russian Dragoon Saber:
$282.00

Antique, circa 1900 Persian Islamic sword, shashka, patterned after the 1881 Russian Dragoon saber, shashka, carried by the Persian Qajar cavalry Cossack Brigade.

Details: A slightly curved single edged steel blade with a wide full-length fuller edge, stamped on one side of the forte with Farci numbers. A regulation brass stirrup hilt and downcurved rear quillon, with the loop for the tassel and aspirally carved wooden grip. The tassel is the first and only example of the sword original knot that I have ever seen. The brass pommel is struck with Farci numbers, as on the blade. The numbers on the blade is not the same as the scabbard. The sword comes with its original, oxidized, steel scabbard with suspension ring. The mouthpiece and the shoe stamped with numbers.

The Blade is 29m inches, ant scabbard is 33 inches. That and the numbers on the blade and scabbard don\'t match makes me think that this has been mismatched.
