Nice example Wayne. More likely first half of 20th C I think, but a good solid exemplar. As you say, the shaft may need some oil and a little work.

These are still being made and used in parts of Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam. They are primarily a tool, but have certainly been used as weapons in the past.
