Looks fine - hard to put a date, maybe early 20th century...

Hi Lew,

congratulation, nice bakatwa dagger, difficult to say exact which age, I think around 1920, maybe a little bit before or also later.
A little bit unusual seems the bottom of the sheath, normal it looks from the side like a feet, this one seems to be round/cylindric.

I am posting a pic of another examples with that "Foot" at the bottom o the scabbard for comparison.
