'Victorian' covers almost the entire 19c, so that would probably be safe. The wood, binding and steel patina looks consistent with that to me too. because of the UK's invasion of the KwaZulu nation in the latter half of the era, and the war with the Boers, a lot of souvenirs from there were brought back to the UK.
