Hard to say, Jose. Perhaps mid-to late-20th C. I don't have a clear idea of when these dedicated hinalung daggers were first produced. The pictures added by Jeff show clearly that the hilt has a wooden core, much like the pinahig usually has, although I also have several pinahig that have a socketed hilt like a typical hinalung.
