Chuck In Oregon Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 From time to time I buy boxes or envelopes full of old photos at Tbilisi''s Dry Bridge Flea Market and elsewhere. I was browsing through a stack of those old photos in my man cave today when I came across a small, badly faded and damaged photo. I couldn't believe it. "Hey, those are lancers!" This is the only picture of lancers that I own or have ever seen. At least, I think it is I don't know any details at all about it. I cleaned it up and enhanced it using Photoshop Elements 12. I am quite pleased with the way it turned out, especially considering its true condition. Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanX Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Yep. Cavalry lance model 1910. Total length 3280 mm, head length 135 mm, pole diameter 27 mm, weight 2660 g. Officially these were in use (in Red Army) until 1931, unofficially - until the start of GPW Nice photo Chuck! :beer: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck In Oregon Posted October 9, 2013 Author Share Posted October 9, 2013 I'm definitely impressed. You know the model number of the lance and its exact specifications and when it was in service? How do you do that? Guns I can understand, but lances? When can you come over and take a look at the rest of my photos? Thank you for so generously sharing your knowledge Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
