I have always viewed flyssas as the Kabyle interpretation (and imitation) of the yataghan. If this is correct, than this one has a chance to be relatively early, given the blade shape and the lack of the characteristic decoration on the hilt, blade and scabbard, which is something that probably developed over time. First half of the 19th century perhaps?
