I’m new to this specific area of collecting, so I’m wondering if there are any good English language works or resources so I can learn more about Caucasian edged weapons

I would recommend Kirill Rivkin's Arms and Armor of Caucasus, although I cannot comment on the factual accuracy of the text as I have no expertise on that subject.

The book is in two languages: Russian and English. Also a great book: Yuri Miller, Caucasian Arms from the State Hermitage Museum, St Petersburg, Danish/English |

All of these books recommended are excellent!
Kirill Rivkin's book is a MUST! and while I am certainly not any expert on this topic, I have collected and researched in degree, and others I know in this field who are, endorse it highly. |

I also recommend Rivkin's book, as it encompasses the entire region and all the various weapons types.

Unfortunately, the good books on the subject are in a language incomprehensible to English speakers
