just a short comment: there seem to be a number of russian military shashkas from zlaloust with simple D or P guards. observing their corresponding scabbards i noted that the suspension rings are on the outside of the curve rather than on the normal inside as used elsewhere. it appears this is what sets these shashka aside from a sabre.
