This double–edged blade made of Damascus steel, decorated with a Zlatoust engraving, is not just a weapon, but the embodiment of spirit and fortitude.
Obverse: Framed by oak leaves, A.T. Tvardovsky's quote shines in gold: "The battle is holy and right, the battle is not for glory, for the sake of life on earth." The techniques of bluing, etching and gilding give the metal an exceptional artistic depth.
The flip side: The workshop's trademark and the author's stamp confirm the exclusivity of the work.
The hilt, covered with red leather, symbolizes the Banner of Victory and the spilled blood.
Guard and pommel: The crosspiece is decorated with laurel branches and a shield with the dates 1941-1945. The lens-shaped sword head depicts the Orders of Victory and the Patriotic War.
The scabbard, clad in red leather, tells the story of the feat through three monuments:
Ustye ("Rear to the front", Magnitogorsk): The beginning of the journey. Inscription: "A worker forged a sword in the Urals."
Oboimitsa ("Motherland is calling!", Volgograd): The turning point. The inscription: "In Stalingrad, he was raised by his Mother Motherland."
The tip ("The Liberator Warrior", Berlin): Finale and peace. The inscription: "And a Soviet soldier dropped it in Berlin."
The device of the sword is richly decorated with five–pointed stars, St. George ribbons and oak leaves - signs of fortitude and valor. The embossed edges emphasize the power and ceremonial status of the product.
