Mardjani

 Last year an interesting exhibition -- called A thousand and thousand signs (Ezer és ezer jel) [1]  -- displayed a collection of stunning artifacts from the Northern Caucasus, mainly from the Mardjani Foundation. Among those was a sabre from the 10th century. I mentioned this sabre in a 2019 post.

 Much better photos of the weapon can be found in the article entitled Hungarians in the Northern Caucasus? (Венгры на Северном Кавказе?), published by the foundation.

 No specific location within Karachay-Cherkessia has been mentioned in the article regarding the above sabre, which has a very prominent angle between the blade and the grip. Specification: total length 80.5 cm, length of the crossguard 9.0 cm.

The last half of the 9th or

the first half of the 10th century [2]

 It was found near a small village, called Barakajevskaya stanica. The original parts, fittings have been used to create this modern reconstruction, made by M. V. and A. V. Gorelik. Specification: total length 89.5 cm, width of the scabbard 3.2 cm, length of the crossguard 10.6 cm. At the moment the ethnic attribution of these sabres is unclear: it could be Hungarian or Alan.
