Hi Detlef,
It's hard to say precisely, the blade and pommel seem quite well done. So I would guess perhaps something in the 1930s-40s range maybe? The leather and tassels of course can be later. Or of course the whole thing can be later as well.But the blade is pretty well done, with a good bevel and edge and the pommel shows a lot of patina. This makes me think it has just been nicely maintained and has a bit of age although certainly not a truly old item.
Regards,
Iain
