Caucasian shasqua, silver mountings
length: 31 3/4"
A craftsman's dream, this Russian style shasqua was produced somewhere in
the Caucasus mountain area of eastern Europe/western Asia. Sharp chromed
blade, but that's not the focus of this sword - the hilt and scabbard are a
fine example of silver and enamel work. Offered here at TherionArms on commission for a friend. Circa late 1800's- early 1900's.
blade: 26"
blade width: 1 1/4"
