Thank's to all for the previous comments.

Thank you for the pictures from Rivkin's book which show the comparable daggers I searched for. The author also thinks that these daggers were made in Tiflis. Because a number of experts and collectors have this opinion, I accept this thesis. Rivkin also thinks that such blades were made between 1810 and 1830, I think so, too. Later Kindjals and Qamas from the second half of the 19th. century have no blades of this high quality.

The persian influence is unquestionable and what do you think is the other influence your previous writer means than an artistic one?

I have one more question: Is anybody here in the forum who knows which flowers are pictured on the blade and the scabbard-mounting?

A very similar flower you can also see on the dagger in the first picture of post 29.
