Maasai Seme

Hullo!
Here's my newest treasure...my last one (the afar jile) didn't turn out too well...so this lifted my spirits. A maasai seme, forged and 68 cm long, so a good sword size. As I undertand it from past discussions, this particular type is not all that old, but at least pre-1950s...is this correct?
For comparison I post another seme cut from a Martindale machete (thanks Tim, I still really like it

)
I'd very much appreciate comments.
