Thank you Jim!
Dear C.A. !
I did not mean to say its 'bad'. I just assumed that you as most of us are interested to know either piece you are interested in is authentic or not. Don't you care to know what it is exectely in your possession ?
And I want to stress that I myself keep a few very good replicas in my collection simply because master that made them followed precisely to the characteristics of blade shape and its mounting. In this case blade is not correctly shaped.
However the authentic cross guard, georgian inscription and nicely made khevsurian sheath do make this item interesting.
If you are set to build a small "khevsurian" section in your collection, I do not see why not to start with replica as this one.
