Newly made Kindjal?

The lower one might be from there.

The first one is made in India. I have one of those and it is completely off. The one with gold coftgari looks more "authentic" i.e. it has all the features of a real kindjal and the rivets are done right. The only "flaw" is the ring on the scabbard, And I think that if this was made in Georgia they wouldn't miss it. So I guess Syria?

Thanks Arsen, and Ariel,
Arsen, good comment about the "flaw", this was the reason I thought both are from India, made in different qualities. Syria could be an option, but the steel type points more towards India.

Could be Indian, because of the style of coftgari work, but if you search "Syrian Kindjal" on Google: https://www.google.com/search?q=Syri..._AUIBigB&dpr=1
You will see that most of those have the same ring. So maybe an Insian copy of a Syrian Kindjal
