Hi Cerjak,
pictures can cheat but my guess would have been mid to end of the 20th century. My guess is based by the lack of patina, the not deep carving at the scabbard and the blade quality. But I am far away from an expert for mandaus, so I am also not able to tell you if it's an ambang but it is good possible like I've mentioned in my previous post.

Best regards,
Detlef
