I'm not right an enthusiast about military issues, but I've got that 'cos it was cheap and would go verry well with my russian military pieces.

Well Tirri says that is a result of cooperation between Persia and Russia at the end of 19th century and that it is a persian military sabre model 1909.

Now some questions:

1. What kind of cooperation was there between Persia and Russia at the end of 19th century? Common hatred towards the Ottomans?

2. There are no other mark than the serial number on the sword. Where were thoose manufactured? Zlatoust or Persia?

3. The same type od sword is reffered as shashka in imperial Russia and it was used by dragoon corps. Were thoose persian swords an officer issue and what corps used thoose sabers in Persia?

4. Are thoose swords rare?
