Hi Robert,
I don't see it being that old. I'm thinking around WWII or after. It's made in the classic way, but I just don't get the feelling of age. Quite subjective on my part with no evidence to back it up. The ferrule is made of steel and is brazed. The mark in the blade is a forging flaw I think. On the back side is a hole.
Thanks,
Steve
