The blade has a mark that I remember seeing on some other kindjal before. It is clearly not related to this symbol in any way, but it reminds me of a small, less detailed version of the "flaming bomb" mark found on some Spanish and American weaponry.

I am not sure about the Syrian attribution. I always associate Syria with their lower end punched decoration in brass. Sorry no help there. What I do see is that the mark may be a version of the "vessel." I am having some perspicacity problems and can't remember the Arabic word for the motif. I believe it repeats on the sheath with the tree of life sprouting from it.
Do you think the front handle scale is Bakelite?
