I am no expert, but the blade seems like Dagestan, probably Lak work. Scabbard and hilt can be Dagestani, and most likely it is somewhat earlier work, the only problem I have is with rivets/some other things - they are somewhat atypical for Dagestan and more southernish, like Azerjbajan and other Transcaucasian areas. May be trade blade in Azerbajan/Armenia mounts ?
