OF COURSE it's possible...
It's difficult to be definite because some things change more slowly than than others.
Analyzing it logically:
Aluminium wasn't available for general use until 1930s.
Early general use was from scrap metal.
In indo Al wasn't popular until the 1950s.
Here is where I may be wrong:
Three-pinned scales were generally used until the early 1970s, when it was replaced by two-pinned scales.
But, I have never seen that style of handle before H. Aas made them.

Three salient points:
Unusual for TWO hanging rings on the collar and no belt-clasp.
Unusual to cap the pommel.
Unusual crimping(?) pattern on panel above collar.

Conclusion:
It may have been made by his predecessor.
It may have been a custom order.

Best,

Thank you my friend,
Please know that I am hugely greatful for your continued help in these matters and your excellent (rather English I might say) humour too

P.S.
I'll leave you in peace now (for a while )

Hullo Gene,

NP .....
I miss the Clovelly cobblestones and the Red Lions.
Just PLEASE do me a favour:
Don't feed vegetable Cornish pasties as the only fare for lunch (to foreigners) DAILY ... until they develop an aversion to it.

LOL, were you in Blighty then?

Hmmm, vegetable pasties!
A favourite of vegetarians like me.
So I'll save them all for myself.
