Probably Russian or Ukrainian. Of a form often describes as ‰ÛÏhunting swords‰۝ these were almost universally carried as civilian sidearms. The attribution is reinforced here by the decoration of the blade which incorporates a splay of military weapons behind a shield with a large central C, almost surely for Catherine the Great, Empress Regnant of Russia from 1762 until 1796. During that time, most of Ukraine was under Russian rule. The 23‰۝ broad fullered blade is of distinct Eastern European form with stepped cutting edge and edged clipped point. The hilt is brass with floral decoration to functional mounts and a finely reeded and stain decorated bone grip, simulating stag antler.
