This one is likely 100% the very end of the 20th, more likely 21 century.
These days, most Georgian kindjals on e-bay are newly made.
And, yes, there are some made in traditional way, which is nice: those masters keep traditions alive.
The golden era of 1980-1990s, when Georgians were selling really good and antique weapons is over. At least they are not stupidly greedy like Chinese and Indian sellers. Buying from those two countries is like playing Russian roulette with fully loaded chambers.
