Russian Kinzal

[corrado26]

Since a very Long time I have this Russian, probably a Georgian kinzal in my collection. It has on the back of its sheeth a script that I cannot read so I wonder if there is anybody who might be able to read and translate this script.
Thanks a lot in advance

Both the script and the workmanship appears to be Georgian, in which case it is not a Kindjal (which is the Russian/Daghestani name) but a Qama (which would be the Georgian name of the weapon). ;) I can send the photos to a friend in Geoargia to translate it but it may take a few days.

The sword is Georgian, hence I would call it Qama.

The writing is a male name: "Aksnti Peradze."

Peradze is a common Georgian family name, but Aksnti appears to be a variation of the more common Aksenti.

Thanks a lot for your comment. So I learnt that I have a qama from Georgia and not a Kindjal from Daghestan

Exactly!

Although they are exactly the same weapon... very much like the Omani KHANJAR and the Yemeni JAMBiYA. ;)
