My pleasure, nice sword!!
As well noted on the ethnographic forum by Oliver, this does seem to be a Caucasian piece. The velveteen scabbard sort of set me toward the European angle, but the shapes of those elements in the hilt especially pommel do bring to mind Caucasian possibilities. With that, again the Tatar factor always looms.
