I agree that the important point is this weapon has some age and I would be happy to contend that late 19th early 20th was on target and happy with that bracket. This style will wear a lot more than the all silver item since we are considering cord below the belt which wears much faster as does the cloth belt which looks original. the other aspect is in deciding exactly when to date the beginning of the style ...which is almost half way through the 19thC 1830 / 1840. the other impossible trick is to see if parts have been replaced..in this case I think not...although maybe the crown has been changed?
