Default pseudo-shashka

Here is one of my pseudo-shashka and I am jolly pleased with it. Yes its ww2 but having no STATE marks other than what some collectors call the snow flake stamp. I am showing it as a Russian Shashka. I have the scabbard, dragoon, but no point in showing it. I have replied here as I have read so much hot air on the subject here. Which reminded me of the oppinionated knowlegable expert but not up to speed on verriants, cross over marks, unusual manfacturing sites and trade encouraging some to shout fake, the internet is a great place for them. Yes there are lots of guardless sabres. The cavalry shashka has a particular geometry quite unlike a Dha or machette , other cavalry sabres will be close but not the same.
