It's hard to say where this sword is actually from because it's a combination of parts. The blade is good Caucasian work, probably made in Tbilisi c. 1850. The guard is Persian, and considerably earlier; this type with recurved quillons is rare. The grips are more or less recent. It was probably assembled for use in the early 20th century.
