The engraving on the scabbard mounts is pretty crude.
I suspect the scabbard has had extensive amateur repairs...
"gôczi"(?) It sounds Hungarian to me.
This is almost certainly an Imperial Russian coin,
it looks like some examples from around 1914.
The grip is more comfotable than you might suspect, seeing the large protruding knobs.
I have no idea what most of this engraving is supposed to be...
Another angle. I think that's a flower on the right, but as for the rest, who knows?
It's about 19.5" long, the blade is about 15".
It weighs 11oz.
