Russia - WW2 Shaska/ Shasqua for cavalry Cossacks 1934

The shashka or shasqua (Adyghe: сэшхуэ, [saʃxʷa] – long-knife; Russian: шашка) is a kind of sabre; a single-edged, single-handed, and guardless backsword. The comparatively subtle curve of a shashka blade puts the weapon midway between a typically curved sabre and a straight sword, effective for both cutting and thrusting.
