Not Caucasian and not Russian: far too crude.
I am intrigued by the lower" langet": looks like a piece of flat metal with rudimentary embellishments. Overall, I think it is Arabian, but not of a sophisticated origin: Bedouin souds about right. The blade looks military. Any markings? |

It was far from cheap. You can get some pretty smart stuff in better condition for that price

Hi All,
The blade and scabbard are from a British 1803. Hilt ???? Hope this helps. Jeff |
