Trying to track down a Caucasus sword

I'm trying to track down a sword depicted in Kaminski's EARLY MEDIEVAL WEAPONS IN THE NORTH CAUCASUS.

Image attached - the sword I'm interested in is the second from the left with the decorated guard. I'd really like to know more about the construction and to see a photo if one exists.

Does anyone know what museum this piece is stored in?

Many thanks although I realize this is a pretty obscure request.
