I agreed with Ian about mid 20th c.
In your very nice website, you rely a lot on inscriptions on blades and scabbards, and you are right. Why not keep in consideration the inscription on mine? When Bassein's name changed for Pathein? mid 50ties or late 40ties?

Thanks for your kind words!
The name change happened pretty late, 1989, so that doesn't help a lot in pushing the date back, unfortunately.
