AJ, my opinion based on the techniques used on some surfaces of the silver and that the chape being of Russian/European design I wouldn't consider it at face value not any older than mid 19th century, though personally I feel closer to the last quarter toward 1900. It is possible aspects of the knife only are recycled from slightly older pieces...
