Default Cossack's saif?

its a very nice parade sabre, hence the blade is intact.

pommel is and obvious trophy arab saif. scabbard all silver with a snake skin.

The blade, since it wasnt used in combat, is of a fair quality, not sahrpened. One side has a depiction of Pokrova - cossacks safeguard the other side has the badge of the military unit the owner would belong to. in this case its the Kodak Palanka on the Dnieper. Badge circa 1770 i think.
