This
sword was presented to the officer of the White Army
after the battle in Gallipoli
against
Red Army.
The inscription on a blade is a poem.
I cannot translate exact, but it looks like this:
On the one side:
"If
there would be a call to fight for Russia and Freedom,
then Kornilovtsi would go through water and fire.
March into battle!"
On another side:
"Although
only disgrace, lies and oppression surrounds us,
we
are Kornilovtsi and despise of plebs would do no harm
to
us.
March into battle!"
Kornilov was very well known general in White
Army.
The troops in his Army calls themselves Kornilovtsi
