I would say Azerbaijan, Persian or not, something to south east from Tbilisi for certain.
Timeframe - I would need better picture of the koftgari. |

Hello Rivkin, thank you very much. Here are some other pictures that i hope are better and clearer, but the koftagiri isn't so good  Please, could you also explain me, if it's possible, the difference between the qama and the kindjal? Thank you very much

Hm, I would say late XIXth century, but can't be sure.
Kindjal is a russian word, supposedly from arabic khanjar; qama is supposedly a farsi word, however turkish or even alanic origin is also possible. First is used since russian is a lingua franca in caucases. Second is used since such word (qama) exists in most caucasian languages; it is also used in Iran. They both describe the same object. |
