WELCOME TO THE FORUM.

THESE LOOK LIKE GUINUINE SWORDS MADE FOR LOCAL USE TO ME. WHILE SOME EXAMPLES HAVE PIG TUSKS OR CROCODILE OR EVEN TIGER TEETH MAKING UP THE TAILSMANIC BALL MOST DO NOT. THE CARVING IS GOOD THRU-OUT AND THE ARANGEMENT OF THE WOODEN TEETH AND THE FACE ON THE WOODEN PEG UNUSUAL AND VERY NICELY DONE. THE BLADE AND SCABBARD ARE WELL MADE AND IT APPEARS THAT PATINA IS PRESENT ON ALL PARTS OF THE ITEM. THE TIGER BELLS ARE A NICE TOUCH AS WELL. I CAN'T GIVE AN AGE BUT YOUR GUESS IS LIKELY CLOSE. I WOULD BE PROUD TO HAVE TWO SUCH EXAMPLES IN MY COLLECTION.
