Great bringing this Wiki image to the discussion Alex and nice unusual dagger you present too.
Dom, the sword from what images I've found appears to be the standard Russian Sabre of the day, 1881-1908 pattern but the embellishments are WOW, it is part of a series of photos by Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky and the sabre is seen from many different angles. The dress of the sabre appears to be in full gold and enamel dress as would be expected for an Emir.
The series is available on the net, but not being on my home PC at present I do not have them available to post nor the link.
