Lew,

I don't know the age. The seller claims it is 19th C and this area is his specialty. IF it is, then it is certainly in exceptional condition. Whatever, it looks good or at least authentic, to me, though I don't have it in hand.

I try to find quality first and hope the age is there also, but as you know age is a very difficult thing to place unless it has been in someone's collection for an authenticable (is that a word?) length of time.

You don't see these often with the dagger.

Will let you know more when I get the shipment.

I agree,I think that the leather looks like its in very good condition and not too old.Still a very nice takouba,and an interesting dagger too.

I have heard that they were still making and possibly wearing these only a few years ago.
