Hello Ian,

I am as well agree like stated before that curved one is the later piece and as well with your time frame given but think that this gunongs where aluminium is used are from 1930-1950 as time frame, my three examples where aluminium was used for the fittings have all laminated and sturdy blades and also the use from bakelite (when it is bakelite) would confirm this.

I was think mid-20th century.

I continue to be bit by the gunong bug. Two new ones. I'll snap some better photos of these two when I have better light.

The Farthest on the left. Post WWII (?), MOP handle, and my first with good filigree work, and a sandwich guard.

3rd in from the left, with no scabbard. An older one. Brass fittings.

Have fun,
Leif

Oh!
Make that three since the last group photo.

Second from the right, one of Lew's old ones. Aluminum fittings, post WWII.

Thanks,
Leif

Hello Leif,

have seen all three before somewhere else (

) and get outbid (

) by the one without scabbard. And when I am not would have been short by money the one with MOP handle would rest now in my collection!

Would like to see more pictures from this one.
Nice to see that they in good hands.

Regards,
Detlef
