The fact that people-bladesmith still make these kind of sword doesn't mean that all these sword are recent ones.
The ''model'' and technic are still the same,
Cf this dagger taken back during first italian incursion ( blade looks mahdist ) looks like post 1950 ones
On this museum, only weapons collected before 1900
I'll try to find some.pics in this italian museum of similar long knives as we discuss.
