Why Russian? Markings? Inscriptions?
I am unaware of any old Russian Bulat ( wootz) blades with a pattern more sophisticated than shams , and even those are rarer than hen’s teeth.
Contemporary Russian smiths can produce only short knives( except for Zaqro Nonikashvili, but he is from Georgia).
I have seen some old composites with Oriental blades and Russian decorative additions.
