YOU SEEM TO HAVE DONE MOST OF THE RESEARCH THE ONLY THING I CAN ADD IS YOU CAN JUDGE THE AGE MOSTLY BY THE CONDITION AND WEAR ON THE LEATHER. THIS SHOULD GIVE YOU SOME IDEA IF THE ITEM WAS ACTUALLY WORN AND USED AND A CLUE AS TO ITS AGE. THESE ARE STILL WORN AS PART OF THE REGALIA DURING POWWOWS AND DANCE CONTESTS. SOMETIMES WHEN A OLD PERSON DIES OR A YOUNG PERSON GROWS UP THESE COME ON THE MARKET. THEY ARE ALSO MADE FOR SALE TOO.
