I have seen old weapons with leather in very good if not perfect condition , it all depends on how it has been kept. An item may have been kept in the same drawer in a family house for more than one persons lifetime? Saying that I feel this is not 19th century and would have to agree that it looks post ww2, to me the biggest indicators are the metal pieces on the scabbard straps but it is still a very nice sword.
