			I think Vandoo has said more or less all that can be said but I might add that even if the knife is not in general collector terms old, it is a nice real example.  The weaving that covers the handle gives you an indication of the skill of the manufacturer and the effort is way above tourist work.  I have had an eye out for the very same thing, the ones I have seen that are real, have not  been as good as your example and at a really silly high price to my mind anyway.
