Etchings on Kindjal ?

HB,

Both photos are upside down, but on one I think I see the common ККВ inscription, which stands for Куба́нское каза́чье во́йско: The Cuban Cossack Troops. I am really not familiar with the history of this unit of the Imperial Russian Army, so I am not sure what the initials on the other side of the blade could mean. I just see a Cyrillic F, the rest is too faded away. Someone who knows more about ККВ may be able to decipher it for you.

Regards,
Teodor
