Well said, Jim.  
Members like yourself, Yannis and others have really opened up the subject of Khevsur arms and kept it going. Bravo 
Ariel, regarding this Khevsur sword-- it is such late work, you can't really abstract and attribute characteristics like the shape of the rings on the suspension bands anymore-- they are probably gas-welded on, in any case.  It's a hodgepodge of elements. With this in mind however, it does shows some Kubachi influence as you suggest.
