Thanks again Lew.

Hi Peter,

There seem to be a lot of these coming over at the moment. The handle parts of yours are distinctive and I've recently seen identically detailed shape/style Katars which are definately 'new' and deliberately rusted and others which may well be 19thC or even a bit earlier.

I'd agree with Lew, yours looks like a genuine one. I'd guess late 19thC is most likely, but it could be 100 years older than that, its very difficult to tell.

Great fun things for sure, wonderfully distinctive!
