[QUOTE="IvaPan, post: 9568654, member: 78949"]Researched a bit about Platov's sabre(s) which were given to him as gifts for his participation in campaigns. There are three of them: - the first one is presented to him by Ekaterina II for his participation in Persian campaign (1796), and apart from his monogram it is also decorated with natural diamonds and emeralds, and its hilt is made of pure gold. Now it is kept in Novocherkask Cossacks Museum - the second one is the London one, it bears the monogram of Platov and the coat of arms of London. Also it bears a long inscription "To Count Platov for his courage....." Not similar. to this piece; - the third one is his father's shashka made in 1763, with which Platov participated in the Napoleon war of 1812, and it has the personal monogram of Ekaterina II and the two-headed eagle engraved. None of the three seems anyhow similar to the piece shown here, and none of them bears the name of Platov written as on this piece.
