Georgian naval dagger?

So it's N87 from the year 1992... I've never seen georgian navy dirks before, but what bothers me is that there is a lot of work done on this one (number, year, leaves), but there is no georgian symbolics - there is no star, there is no Zhvania's three-colored flag, or more modern nationalistic templar's crosses. I don't see any naval symbolics either - no anchors, no ships etc.

Plus I don't really think that issuing new dirks was a great priority for the small georgian navy in 1992 - civil wars, mixed with genocide and occupation that followed, I don't see it's happening in 1992-1997.
