I need detailed pictures of the honor guard sword like in the picture below:

It is similar to the General's M40 (Parad Pobiedy) sword, except that there is only one depression along the blunt edge of the blade (general's has 3).

Willie, no problem..the images posted on the forum will always remain on the forum which is why we insist on having them posted here rather linked to on an external site.

They are identical to general’s M40 except soviet insignia was replaced. They have two depressions along the blunt edge of the blade, the same as general’s. 3 depressions has M40 for commanding personnel.

Where to get the exact measures of all components of the General sword pattern 1940?Are there any blueprints?

Cheers,JP.
