Hello Dave, I am going to have to agree with Jose on the age of both these pieces and say that your example was made in the 1930's. Often stories have a tendency of getting slightly exaggerated
especially when a little horse trading is going on. Case in point, when one has a dagger that they are trying to trade for a jeep.
Here is another example of one of these highly decorated gunong's and a comparison photo of all three hilts. Sorry for the poor picture quality of the complete piece.
Best,
Robert
