SILVER MOUNTED AND NIELLO SHASHKA SWORD. SOUTH CAUCASUS, 19TH CENTURY.
Origin: South Caucasus (Ottoman Empire?), middle 19th century.
A shashka (from Kabardine-Circassian “a long knife”) is a cutting – and – thrust long blade edged weapon. Initially, a regulation weapon of the Russian irregular cavalry was a Caucassian type shashka featuring a slightly curved blade with a double-edged combat point and a hilt, comprising only a grip with a pommel divided in two parts, devoid of any protective provision. In 19th century shashkas were regulation weapons of the Russian Imperial Army, to include some models with closed hilt, usually for dragoon troops. Shashkas were produced not only in Russia and Russian Caucasus, but also in Ottoman Empire.
Blade: European (Hungarian) style, almost straight, single edged blade with double wide fuller both sides. Wide fuller next to the edge of blade ca. 20 cm from the hilt changes into double, narrow fuller. Next to ricasso remains of engraved decorations and inscription visible on both sides of the blade. This kind of blades was produced in Hungary and Styria (Austria), but was also copied by Caucasian swordmasters.
Open hilt typical for Caucasian shashkas, made of silver with geometrical niello décor, attached to the tang with single rivet, covered both sides with semi spheres of silver decorated with niello.
Wooden scabbard covered with black leather, with silver mounts, décor imitating one on the hilt, but more simple made and without niello, so the scabbard can be later partially or fully reconstructed.
92 cm, 91 cm; blade’s length – 78,3 cm; width – 31 mm; thickness – 6 mm.
Keywords: sword, saber, sabre, Sabel, Schwert, szabla, szablya, glaive, Dolch, hanger, сабля шашка
