What is the scabbard made of, and in which museum does this beauty reside?
Thank you for keeping this thread civil so it can continue. Although not my area of collecting it has been fascinating seeing the paintings and some of the examples posted.

Many thanks. I am glad that you like!
I also really like the first and second shashkas
These shashkas were presented to the Tsar of Russia. These shashkas presented Khan of Kokand.
Now they are kept in the Hermitage in Russia
