			I agree with Artzi on this forged ribbed blades need a high skill level to create the flat ones seem to appear after WW1 Stuart's piece seems to fit in between 1920-40. I have a similar one but a bit more worn. I included a pic of a large jamibiya with a 24" blade whick I am pretty sure is late 19th century?
