Every single person even remotely into weapons or history knows this weapon in my country even though it's not its country of origin for reason I will not reveal because my weapon would be far too obvious. That's the Krnka riffle a breach loading conversion of the M1857 muzzle loading riffle. Country of origin Russia even though the designer was Czech. Guess mine

This is technically 20th century equipment to be used alongside the firearm, but thought it was distinct enough to include for fun.
By the way, if you where wondering if it actually was functional, no it was not.

Ok ok, some guesses are getting really close. It's a IX-Xth century Danube Bulgar saber. I said it was sort of close to Hungarian due to the origins of both people being Turkic people aka begining as Tengrinist step nomads. It's nor really Romanian but Vlachs which were the backbone of the First Bulgarian empire's army used weapons like that. The origin of the weapon is indeed Turkic, intended as a side arm for mounted archers, hence the bronze finger guard which was made for a firmer grip over the cross guard even with an archer's ring, However one can still clearly see Slavic influences on the weapon (as Bulgars in the First Bulgarian empire were in 30 000s and Slavs were much much much more). That sort of Sabre dissipated in XIIth century when the Second Bulgarian Empire switched to a more tradition style of Western European arming swords yeah, no-one of you was really right, no one was right.

>>
>>2840273
Yeah that's correct.
Combining a shovel and a shield, they created a shovel with a hole in it, along with a shield offering minimal cover whilst incapable of stopping small arms fire. It also was apparently heavier than typical shovels.

I would have said Mongolia. Because, what's the difference between one steppe people's saber and another's ? Mongol, Turkic or Slav, they all seem pretty interchangeable to me.

Its technically from Germany, the city of Emden to be precise. However the city was a Dutch protectorate and Dutch was the language of the city magistrates and such.

Can you guys give some background info, it looks intriguing.

Pic related, bonus points if anyone guesses this without reverse search. Here's a hint. It's an archaeological find in Bulgaria but it's not Bulgarian
>>
>>2842901
The name is derived from something like "goden dagge" meaning "good dagger".
It's not very expensive to make and serves as a club/spear hybrid.
Its most famous use was probably by the Flemish guilds in the Battle of the golden spurs near Kortrijk in 1302, where the Flemish absolutely raped the French cavalry despite being outnumbered.
Mind you, the French infantry were doing rather well with spears and crossbows but the cavalry just charged through them to finish the fight. The terrain around the river was too wet and the horses lost their mobility advantage, leaving the knights vulnerable to anything remotely resembling a pike.
The heay clubhead also worked well for denting helmets and the skulls underneath.
Eventually it was rendered obsolete by pikes.
>>
>>2842901
Not Bulgarian, so perhaps from a time before the Bulgars/Slavs lived there.
Eastern Roman? Gothic perhaps?
