CAS Hanwei Russian Dragoon Officers Shashka

The Russian Dragoon Officers Shashka from CAS Hanwei is a faithful reproduction inspired by the late 19th-century Russian cavalry pattern, tracing its character from Caucasus horseman’s sabres through to its well-known place in Russian military dress. With only the last remaining stock noted by the supplier, it is an appealing acquisition for collectors of historical arms, cavalry pieces and quality display swords. At 39 3/8" overall, the sword features a 33" 1566 carbon steel blade with a substantial 6.3 mm thickness at the guard, tapering to 3 mm towards the tip. Despite its sturdy construction, the piece weighs 2 lbs, with a point of balance at 7" for a traditional handling profile. The hilt is richly finished with etched Perovskia flower detail, scrollwork accents and a finely carved rosewood handle. A black leather-covered scabbard with matching decorative treatment completes the presentation, making this CAS Hanwei shashka a distinctive choice for museum-style display or a specialist military collection.
