Kindjal with Gurian-Adjarian type blade

My assumption of probable age as 1840-50 is based on fact the blade has twisted damascene in fullers, configuration of fullers is less fancy then later work of this type of blade, handle is old style. Here an example with almost identical motifs on silverwork (compared to which my example is only second or third tier of course) - https://caucasianarms.com/collection...l-tipa-kama-11
This example, while with different kind of blade, also has an old style handle with "shoulders".
