It is always difficult to stick the tail on the donkey over the question of age. Its old in my view looking at the wear on the hilt and clearly the blade is not new...thus likely to be original. It has running repairs...adding to age... but how much age? You would have to be a genius to figure it out exactly... I would be happy with something between 100 years and 150.
