This is my third one: a saif of beduins from Sinai/Negev.
European blade, shortened ( 25" straight line). Simple white brass decorations on the handle, yellow brass on the scabbard. New leathery stuff ( suede?) covers the middle part of the scabbard, underneath old darkened wood. All firmly held together. This is a true "pseudoshashka": has nothing to do with the Caucasus, but just a simple ergonomic design reminiscent of Sardinian Leppa and sabers of Croatian/Slovenian Krajsniks. I think Motan will especially like it:-)) |
