Never see them with the long wooden handle so that is why this is in mine opinion this is not so old as the other ones with long brass collars
But not easy to date yours Bill scabbard is also without carving so later date
but blade does look like the old ones
But if you ever visit me it is easyer to explain for me

Ben,
Ah, now I understand. The length of the brass collar! Now I see a big difference in mine and the others.
While I am happy to know more, I am a bit concerned that mine is not a good example as I thought it was.
Please understand that I am grateful that you pointed it out. I need to know.
I probably won't sell mine because I like the blade. I also like the wear patina on the handle.
But I am in the market for a correct one, an old correct one would be even better. I will PM you about this.
I am curious about the two points on the end of the handle that look different than most of yours. Is this also someting I should watch out for?
