No problem! I recognize the three fuller blade....is this one that is termed the 'kaldam' ? I dont have Askhabov with me, but I seem to recall that the cross was significant in referring to blades called by this term.

BTW, note the 'twig' marks near the hilt on this blade we are discussing. These are noted in numerous captions in the Wallace Collection volumes.
