With that style of construction it is relatively late. The overlaid solid backed 10th Hussars scroll is probably post WW2. I used to own an identical one with a large 1950s JRGaunt London font on it. The earlier ones had a tagged scroll and a brasing hole behind the crown.

the style of feathers is correct and is noticeably different from the short and dumpy fakes usually found on ebay.
