Russische Shashka met bajonet, antieke afwerking, semi-scherp Keltische sieraden en hangers 5 cm wide and protrudeThe shashka, Cherkessian for "long knife," is a saber of Caucasian origin that was adopted by the Russian army in the 19th century and eventually became the legendary weapon of the famous Cossacks. The most distinctive aspect of this saber was the hilt, which had no handguard and was equipped with a distinctive, downward curved pommel. On horseback, the shashka was most effective due to its unique design, making it an excellent choice for cavalry.
