Hate to disagree with Lew( he has too many swords at his disposal

), but there is NOTHING Georgian/Caucasian in either of them.
South Arabia, both: Yemen, Oman... The styles got mixed and the lines between them were often blurred.
No matter what, no Georgian would get out of the house wearing one of those: he would be ashamed to admit that he had anything shorter than 10 inches
