Hi everyone,
my recently aquisition is this small dagger. 25,5cm long.
The handle is possibly ivory.It has nice blade shape with koftghari work on it but now worn off most of it.
I think i see some letter that used to be with gold but now fade out.
Scabbard with niello work both sides.
Can anyone suggest any spesific country of origin?I think is Caucasian but it is far from my knowledge field.
Ariel please take a look

Any comments are welcome and useful.
Tanks in advance for any help.
