Hmmm
Hi Ariel, I cannot help with this dating, kind of seems brand new to me but I have some swords circa 1900-1910 in pristene condition too.
I can can say this is the third such item I have seen like this. They were not as loud and bright as this one but the did fetch 2 and 3 times the amount this one did, one of them even had the blade scabbard bound with corrosion.
I wouldn't mind finding a box full of them.
