Another Soviet Kaskara
This just ended on ebay. 330005824209
Looks like a hammer and sickle to me. Anyone agree? |

Not certain......you could be right....I want a Kaskara ....but half moons please...facing away from each other
There was a Tabouka, a few months ago, which had crude 'half moons' which were facing in the same direction...... poor copies ?....genuine, but poor workmanship.?...... your guess is as good as mine |

I can just imagine a kaskara advertized in the Hermitage as a "Sword of Comrade Stalin"
There was a joke there about a Soviet Museum that exhibited a skeleton of Lenin at age 8, and another one at age 45.... |
