Item DescriptionAntique Royal Imperial Russian Caucasian Handcrafted Cossack Military DaggerDetails

This antique Russian dagger has been made for the military forces in Caucasus mountain. It has fine engravings on the brass coating and the handle. The coat of arms is made of brass. I\'m almost sure that the leather coating of the case has been replaced with a new one. The handle is made of brass and oxen bone - horn.

Interesting is that the blade has a total of 6 fullers, 3 on each side.These grooves are often called \"blood grooves\" or \"blood gutters\" as well as fullers, although their purpose has nothing to do with blood.A fuller is often used to lighten the blade, much the way that the shape of an I-beam allows a given amount of strength to be achieved with less material. When combined with proper distal tapers, heat treatment and blade tempering, a fullered blade can be 20% to 35% lighter than a non-fullered blade without any sacrifice of strength or blade integrity. This effect lessens as the blade is reduced in length. A blade is said to be \"fullered\" after introduction of the groove.

Italian map of «European Tartaria» (1684).Dnieper Ukraineis marked as «Ukraine or the land ofZaporozhian Cossacks(Vkraina o Paese de Cossachi di Zaporowa)». On the east there is «Ukraine or the land ofDon Cossacks, who are subjects ofMuscovy(Vkraina ouero Paese de Cossachi Tanaiti Soggetti al Moscouita)» .

The origins of the first Cossacks are disputed, though the 1710Constitution of Pylyp OrlykclaimedKhazarorigin.[5][6]The traditional post-imperialhistoriographydates the emergence of Cossacks to the 14th or 15th centuries, when two connected groups emerged, theZaporozhian Sichof the Dnieper and theDon Cossack Host.[7]
