I don't know....I would not necessarily place it in the 60s but it is not 1900-1930s. I might place it in the 40s-50s. This might account for the lamination and the later blade engraving. The style of hilt would also make sense from this time period. Earlier ones (1900s-1920s) tend not to have engravings and are longer and definitely laminated.
