Just ended. This is a classic example of a Circassian shashka: light native blade with locally-applied Passau "wolf" mark. The decorations are very sparse and consist of a repeated "horn" motif.
As Circassian as one can get.
It needs a new scabbard. Does anybody know a reliable person to make one? Mind you, I am not a new owner of this particular shashka ( would love to!), but just for the future.
