As to age, I'd guess at the WWII period or later:
No wear of the blade (plus grinding marks on the bevel); guard from wood which is not really tough enough functionally; the motifs on the hilt are a bit roughly carved and timber not well cured. Regards, Kai |

Thanks for that. That all makes sense. Any idea as to what the the braided twine is made out of-hair versus plant material?
