Hello,  Not old but collected some thirty years ago by missionary.  The marks on the haft are not file marks.  I checked with a x10 loop and they are very small chips from an adze.  There is hand grime my pictures do not show it well.  Fighting was not is not rare.  I am pleased somebody else can see the beauty.  The veriagation is common with argillite.
