generally 1 piece bone or ivory on each side are older. 2 and 3 part grips generally mean 20th century

the white metal spacers between the ivory scales and the brass on mine appear to be aluminum, as is the slotted rail at the top of the brass scabbard where the carrying rings are. i believe this all puts it in the post ww2 (ie mid 20th c.) era but well before the current conflict. the grips appear to be ivory and are actually a bit yellower in reality than in the enhanced picture, but not as much as yours....
