Caucasian Sword: is it real?

Just was sold for a very pretty penny. But I have an uneasy feeling it is a modern creation. Look at the blade: flat, shiny, with two very boring fullers and no markings. I also did not like the anonymous bidding and the fact that the seller never answered my query whether the sword was truly old. The silverwork on the scabbard and the handle is very nice,but so incredibly fresh....
