Good info, I have loearned lots about shashkas. Last month I had not even heard of them. I felt it might have been rehilted from the begining, but i thought it just might be how the shashkas are made. Either way I like the blade, it is well made, and balalnced.

Sorry for the mistake - let me continue: So if I understand it well, this should be common (without stones) Uzbeki sabre/shaska. Which type of wootz ?

Central Asia, no doubt. But it is not wootz; rather, indian type " bird's eye" mechanical damascus. Very pretty.
