THE CARVING IS WELL DONE AND TRADITIONAL IN FORM AND THE SIZE FALLS INTO THE CORRECT RANGE. NICE GRAIN TO THE WOOD AND THEY EVEN WENT TO THE TROUBLE OF CARVING THE LANYARD HOLE SQUARE. IT APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN HAND CARVED. ITS NOT POSSIBLE TO JUDGE AGE BY LOOKING AT PICTURES BUT AGE SHOULD BE APPARENT FROM LOOKING AT THE 3 HOLES AND PATINA AND WEAR. IF IT LOOKS LIKE A MODERN DRILL WAS USED ON ANY OF THE HOLES THAT WILL TELL YOU A LOT ABOUT ITS AGE. A NICE WELL MADE EXAMPLE REGARDLESS.
