Georgian naval dagger?
 
This one just ended on e-bay.
The owner was told that it is a regulation dagger of thr Georgian Navy.
I was very unsure about it. The owner asked me to post it here for your comments.

So it's N87 from the year 1992... I've never seen georgian navy dirks before, but what bothers me is that there is a lot of work done on this one (number, year, leaves), but there is no georgian symbolics - there is no star, there is no Zhvania's three-colored flag, or more modern nationalistic templar's crosses. I don't see any naval symbolics either - no anchors, no ships etc.

Plus I don't really think that issuing new dirks was a great priority for the small georgian navy in 1992 - civil wars, mixed with genocide and occupation that followed, I don't see it's happening in 1992-1997.

My concerns exactly...
Nevertheless, it looks like an excellent dagger with a lot of effort invested into it. Any thoughts on it's origin?
