    More pix, better lighted. better focused. both sides at least would help with assessment. I am not a knife person but gut feel is that it is no earlier than late 19th C. Blade and lock appear to be product of relatively modern machinery. Just a guess though. You could check whether anything like that shows up in any of George Neumann's books on RW stuff.
