Hello
Looking for any info on these two swords I have. First I have this cossacks style sword stamped "zik" 1944 and numbered b459. I was told it was made in Chelabinsk machine factory. Just wondering what type of soldier would wear this, and was it really used in the war? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks Ron

Also I have this sword year ???? It has the number 17512 in Persian engraved into the sword.
I am told it was a Russian sword under contract in Persia, for Persian troops that rode with Russians during the days before Persia became Iran. Can anyone tell about this sword. I have seen many for sale on Ebay. Thanks

Re: Any Info on 2 swords I have
Quote:
On May 1st 1945, outside of Berlin, he earned his Glory 3rd Class "…while attacking the front line of the enemy’s defense, in the ranks of a mounted platoon, Comrade Smadik demonstrated courage and bravery. During an attack in the area of the village Tsulen, he chased after the retreating enemy and with his sword killed four soldiers, and took two German officers prisoner…" He was 19 years old, and had been in the War since Spring 1944. From that point to May 1945, he had killed fifty-six German soldiers and officers single handedly (most undoubtedly many with his sword). --Dave |

Zik ?
I have similar shashka officer variant with CCCP logo - 1941 issue. What ZIK stands for ? Zavod Imeni Kuibisheva ? Or it is different logo for Zlatoust fabrika ?

Cavalry shashka model 1927.
First one in your picture is cavalry shashka model 1927. This was single model for all Red Army military personal who was entitled to wear the saber (primarily cavalry and horse drown artillery, but not only them). Here are variations of this saber and to the left is dragoon’s saber model 1881/1909 that was manufactured by soviet’s up until 1928 when production was completely switched to model 1927, but it was in use in WWII .
http://rkka.ru/uniform/files/kaz09.htm In the center two version of 1927 model for commanding personal and for NCO and privates. The only difference is bayonet holders on the scabbard. To the left simplified war time version that was in production since 1942. Last edited by vvadim; 11-14-2004 at 01:46 PM. |

Despite the fact that in 1940 some new side arms were adopted by Red Army (General’s shashka model 1940 and shashka for commanding personal model 1940) the model 1927 was still most common side arm throughout WWII and up until 1955 when it was removed from the service.
