Hı Ariel,
Do we have any chance to see that piece, the Shapsough one? Forgive me if I missed it in ant of the previous threads.

Sorry for the late response: trivialities like job, family duties etc. got in the way:-)
But here it is: blade 15" long, 2 3/8" wide near the handle. Was sharpened and resharpened many times.
If you can read the stamp, I shall be much obliged.

Ariel, Thank you for the images. It is really very hard to read this. I will ask a friend for it.

Thanks for the offer of help!
Is this one better?

Or this?

The inscription is not clear, we could not read it unfortunately... "Great kindjal", anyway
