Yeah he is!
Yannis, would it be possible a Greek immigrant was in Russian service and had it remounted for some sort of Russian military requirements? A lot of armies in the early modern era would regulate hilt style, scabbard covering, and things like that, but people still provided or could provide their own blades and their own work. I haven't seen the pics, actually (the link doesn't work right for me for some reason), and I take it it's real fancy, but if he were an officer/prince?...
