Well, it is at least 100 years old but not more than 200. The funny thing is that I always wanted to find a reference of the Tougras to compare. You can pinpoint the age because every Soultan of Ottoman Empire had his own mark. The problem is that if you are not familiar with Islamic writing, this is difficult because they look the same.
