The scabbard seems to be too fancy. It is not traditional Caucasian scabbard for sure. Probably the later replacement.
For the hilt - seems to be quite good for early XIX century kindjals. The blade is strange - for koftgari, shape etc.
To my mind it could be (not for sure!) the Arabian imitation of Caucasian kindjal made after 1860th somewhere in Ottoman Empire in the best case.
