Scythian sword with an engraving. Very rare. It is considered, that Scythians had only daggers...

Very nice!
I love akinakes!
It seems like archaeologists are digging up more and more "long akinakes" nowadays. A lot of them are in the sword-size range, and even a few large swords have been discovered.
Of course, for the late period, you get a lot of overlap between Scythian and Sarmatian burials, when the two cultures were beginning to seriously merge.
Do you have an approximate date and a find-place for this piece?
I didn't surrender, but they took my horse and made him surrender.
