Charles,

I think the fact that the metal is such poor quality means, paradoxically, that it is pretty old.

Most of the older examples that come on the market are from the 19th C. and originally were collected by British military, administrative, and plantation personnel--not a whole lot of British tourists went to that part of India in the 19th C.

Ian.
