1909 Russian Dragoon Officer Shahska. Not Bad.
Here is a Tsarist-era Dragoon Officer Shashka.
Zlatoust manufacture. Interestingly has a Cyrillic 'G' carved on the grip by an early owner. Very clean overall, not at all heavy in hand or scabbard. I like taking clean photos in natural light. My one reservation in sharing pics as a reference, is that such pics may help fakers. On the other hand, they can serve as reference to buyers looking to buy wisely. |

Blade is a bit short for a dragoon. It would be safer to just label it an army officer's shashka.
