Khevsurian sword

A long time on the want list this one;

I did a while back buy this sword for the collections and I know some of you have viewed it privately as I have not yet added it to my gallery page.

My reading points this to be a true Khevsurian sword in Persian style rather than one of the 'Cottage Industry' types often passed off as the real deal.

The armourers stamps are to both sides and are similar to those of mid 19th century Georgian smith marks but being aware of the intricacies behind these weapons, there could well be other cutlers who used and or copied these marks.

I'd like to share this image now that my new camera has finally arrived.

Comments and further directions to the intricacies behind these swords are welcome.
