Russian/Persian Model 1909 Shashka

Selling/trading a Persian contract Russian M1909 Shashka. Overall it's in very nice shape. From my research these were based on the Russian M1881's and used by the Persian Cossack Brigade. Measures 37" in total length with a blade length of 32". Steel is all in very nice shape, very light pits to note if anything. Scabbard has a large dent in the middle of it but is in good shape otherwise, done in black (unsure of whether that's the original colour). Wood and brass handle are all in very nice shape. I'm no expert on edged weapons so please correct me if I'm mistaken on any of this, or if you have any questions I'll do my best to answer them to the best of my knowledge. Looking for $450 shipped. Insurance by request on buyer. Open to all trades. Can send more pictures upon request. Pm or text/call 204 795 2850 for more info.
