I have an uneasy feeling about the etchings: don't they look very fresh? The handle is also quite pristine, especially the wire wrapping: impeccably even and tight.

Hi Mauro,
welcome to the forum, a very nice kaskara ......and excellent photographs

.

It is likely the hilt has been replaced/repaired and the blade is older. I really like it.
