Kindjal for coments

I was scrolling the PDF pages of this book about Caucasian Weapons by E. Astvacaturyan, that a member ( i don't remember whom) has provided us long time ago by email and, in page 145, there is a sketch with what i think to be several makers marks seen on 19th century kindjals. To my unexperienced eyes one of these marks seems to be the same as part of the symbols in the example i have posted in this thread. I am a zero in Russian, but this part of the book appears to be the Daghestan section ... precisely the area mentioned by Ariel as being the provenance of the discussed piece.
Could those members with more knowledge in this subject give a coment on this similarity ?
Ariel, could you help ?
Thanks
Fernando
