I am not an expert on Russian bladed weapons.
IMHO it looks like a dragoon officer's shaskha mod. 1909, but I don't like a number of things:
- the scabbard is not original, it is from a soldier's saber with a bayonet mount;
- I don't like the inscription on the butt: Zlatoust Arms Factory
For a more qualified attribution, it is necessary to involve specialists in Russian shaskhas.
