The upper one is a “common” high class shashqua. The lower one is a high class too, but it was made for someone who was either left hand person or he was used to wear the sword like the rest of the world and not upside down like the Russians did. Notice that the mouth of the scabbard is "cut" so you can touch the hilt from one side. Any Comments?
