Hi Shayde78,
That's where a lot of reading and asking questions helps. There are general signs of wear and age that help, but seeking out high quality pieces (good workmanship and materials) is always worthwhile regardless of age. Many modern pieces are still functional.
Some recently made
gunong are definitely collectible and retain their value.
