Russian Shaska

Hi Markku,

It is not the shashka itself that counts, it’s the blessed memory of your grandfather and heroic fights of Finnish people against the Red Army.

Ountnumbered and outgunned, they fought a clever war against a giant and dumb enemy, truly a David and Goliath battle.

This trophy should never be sold: it has to go to your kids and grandkids.

Than You Ariel...Fine and beautiful words.

Yes-shaska will go to my children when time is-and they
know story of this one.And history behind that violent war.

That time is gone-same most of those men and women.
But we remember...

regards Markku
