Yes Detlef, you very possibly could be right about the age of this piece. I have always found it a good practice on the items that I purchase from photos to not decide on age until they arrive. I have seen item in photos that look to have good age to them only to find when they finally arrive that they were of quite recent manufacture and complete junk, while at the same time I have had others that looked almost new that upon later inspection were found to be of good age and were just very well taken care of over the years. By the way, I really like the spears that you shared in the link you posted here. Very nice items for any collection.

Best,
Robert
