20th century, but certainly plenty old enough to pre-date the Ivory ban here.

Lew!
LOL, just realised it's your first post to the thread and NO OPINION?
Come on bud! What do you think?

I think it is a superb example the rib on the blade is nicely forged and is of excellent quality. I would place the age around around 1950 but could be a bit earlier. You did well my friend

As I previously said---mid 2oth century. I think we tend to forget that we are now in the 21st Century! Agreed 1950ish....mid 20th century.
