In the very interesting post of Rivkin regarding Georgian arms on page 6 (i cannot copy here the photo), there is a photo of a Chesvur(?) sword (first from the right) that althougth is not all visible, resembles this one.
It has 2 fullers one more wide like this, and a deep "star" althought with more points, on the blade.

Hey, Eftihis,
Just now noticed you are from Crete. Look up Stathis Papavasiliou in Iraklion. He is a Prof. of Medicine at the University of Crete. To say he is just a good friend of mine would be an understatement of the year!
