Good question. The honest answer - it will take about a year of watching ebay and big auctions. I would concentrate on Artzi Yarom (Oriental Arms), Chernyh (Italian auction house) and may be even go as far as Christies.
I would say that ones sees real circassian things here and there from time to time, but their kindjals are one of the rarest qamas. It is hard to put a price tag on it - you can find one on ebay for peanats, or you may be prepared to spend enormous sums at high level auctions. Forgot the main caveat - you will have to find out what circassian and what is not by yourself - in 95% of auction houses description is going to be either generic or wrong.
