The same feature, ie connecting band, can be seen on authentic Caucasian Kindjals as well.
I can see your point about the decoration, but it is so bloody meager that I would hesitate pinpointing the exact region. Can we agree on "Ottoman"?

Ottoman is fine
Do you agree that it is around 1900? And probably the blade earlier? |

I agree that the blade is older. Some of the work on the mounts do look newer, done on white metal (nickel silver) from the looks of it.
