Congrats, a neat old budiak, Ian!
The hole in the tang looks machine-made and seems to have pretty crisp edges: Not consistent with the other worn surfaces which might point to at least first half of the 19th century. I'd posit this hole was a later modification - maybe for securing it to a replacement pole or even mounting on a wall... Regards, Kai |
