looking for a soviet/cossack sabre

matteti · 10-23-2009, 11:54 AM

Hi dear collectors,
I would like to purchase a soviet/cossack sabre, and I have seen some examples on E! recently. However, I have zero knowledge in the area of blades and I don't want to buy a fake item or realize later that I really got played on the price.

Anybody can recommend a reputable seller. I wish DougD had some for sell directly!

Thanks in advance for your comments/recommendations

Hi Matteti, i am new here, i collect russian schaschka and have several one, i can say that there is no seriously seller of russian schaschka on Ebay.
A lot of chinese replika, a lot of german replika(dont buy a 1934 one, it`s 90% sure that it`s a replika) and the one sell by georgian are too expensive and in poor condition.
If you want to buy one, first collect a lot of information about stamps, type of head, type of blade, etc... after this you will be able to recognize replika and true one.

Thanks for your comments pirochki. Actually, I already located and committed to buy one from a very kind and reputed expert member of this forum. I just have to pay for it now.

It is a 1937 NKVD shashka with matching scabbard in very good shape. As soon as I receive it, I will post picture of it.

Do you received your shashka, any news about it?

matteti · 01-21-2010, 04:07 PM

Hello, Yes I got it and it looks better "in-person" than by photo!

I will post a few pics of it soon.
