Default Kindjal for coments

A triple fullered 18" (45 cms. ) blade.
Handle looks horn ... at least by night
Wooden scabbard covered by "white brass" on the front and tin on the back.
Kindjal labeled by seller as 18th century and scabbard 19th century.
Anyone familiar with these blade marks ?
Is it easy to tell the origin of this piece ? and the possible veracity of its age ?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Fernando
