The stuff on the hilt looks a bit like Bakelite (which technically is plastic) and that stuff's been around since the 1920's. Maybe not, but a possibility. The piece might be a little older than it first appears.

Louie, recent to me means 1960s on to the present. With the bottom piece it may be earlier because of the lamination. The more recent stuff like the 1970s to now usually don't seem to have the lamination.
