Russian from Soviet era original Parade shashka in excellent condition. I had several those shashkas and took a few handles apart. They had control marks and sometimes year of manufacturing on tang.
The blade is in mint condition. The spot on the cap piece is from maskin tape and easy can be cleaned with aceton. Is with several control and quality markings. The wooden scabbard covered with canvas and lacquer. I place maskin tape around the ring to prevent damage to the scabbard.
Please check my auctions, I have the original white sword knot. For this type of the sword. The total length is about 39 inches; the blade only is almost 32 inches.
