Vodka bottle in family barn.

[munkin919]

I found a Don Cossack Vodka bottle in my great grandfathers barn (deceased). It is clear, approx 11 1/2 tall and it is shaped like a soldier holding a sword in a scabbard with his right hand his left hand is holding the bottom of the scabbard. There are 8 lines on each side if his chest (flags?). He has a molded face and legs and feet that are molded into the glass about 1 1'12 inches from the bottom of the bottle (appearing to protrude from an overcoat/uniform). The words Don Cossack are embossed across his upper back. The bottom of the bottle reads: FEDERAL LAW FORBIDS SALE OR REUSE OF THIS BOTTLE.4/5 Quart and what appears to sat R 72. I have been unable to locate this bottle on the internet . Can anyone help me? Sorry I have no pic, camera is broken.

While I would not mind a bit with some 7-UP I mostly want to know the age and any value LOL. It's a pretty bottle[]

What irks me is that with Don Cossack being a bottom shelf vodka I would think that these bottles would be easy to find................I have plundered the internet tp the point of obbsession and NO LUCK!
