On yours the edge grinding is more clearly defined.
The other one I'd say is probobly 19thC. The hilt may be Ivory or bone and the blade is actually hollow ground of a sort, rising to the 'T' spine and also rising to a shoulder before the flat ground edge.
I would expect this one to have a fairly high probability of being wootz.
Yah, you're right, Gene .
Bad eyes on my part, I guess .

I expect only the owner can confirm the scale material .

Y'know, it sure looks like the edge on my piece was cut with a sharp instrument rather than being ground .
