Turn of century 1900 (estimated)
1970s (provenanced)

Here's a late 1800s and a modern one from Ungkaya

I'm fortunate to have gotten a pira from Ian's collection. I restored its edge (it's experienced, battle-wise) and secured the hilt. It's suprisingly nimble and light. I would definitely use this in a duel.
