Default Qama, Large Kindjal. Tbilisi?

Good Evening All,

Would you agree (from my poor lazy-Sunday pics) that this may be a Armenian-made Qama from Tbilisi circa.1850?

Re makers mark: I have no specific reference to hand, my guess from previous reading...Please comment or correct me.

Was cheap, sold as 'African', with rusty blade, and with silver paint over that. Just gave it a gentle clean. Some limited patterns in the steel. No scabbard.

Blade 51cm
