This is probably nothing special but my wife’s grandma gave us this sword and told us this was from her father. However, she doesn’t know anything about it or how he obtained this sword. CCCP is written on the grip so I assume this sword could be made as early as 1917 in Russia. I would appreciate if anyone can give me any other info on this one, whether this was used for ceremonial purposes only or not.
There are some star-ish carvings on the grip as well, not sure if it has a meaning or it was made by the smith while making the sword.
