Dating a Nice Pia Kaetta

I picked up this pia kaetta at a Civil War arms show most unexpectedly and at a bargain price. It was simply labeled "Asian dagger"....and I almost jumped out of my skin. I think this proves you can still find some great stuff in the least likely places.

I do not have many of these in my collection, but for my own reasons, primarily blade shape, I think it is an older one.

Can anyone add something regarding the age of the piece??
