The Silver Squirrel has dated this piece to the 1900s.
I would date it to c1900. It has been superbly made and is in superb condition being free from dings splits distortions and repairs, engraved initials CH or HC to the reverse. It measures approx. 9.5 inches (24.3cms) long by 2.25 inches (5.6cms) wide and weighs an impressive 107 grams. A high quality well made piece.
