I had same model around 95 but it came out earlier. One of the best handles I have had!

I could say it is made in middle or late 1980's.
Lot of former national players used these blades in 1990's.
I still keep one of them, it was branded by Nittaku for Japanese/Swedish/German market, but produced by TIBHAR. In the past times TIBHAR made blades for different companies...

Here is a picture of mine - NITTAKU (TIBHAR) ALLROUND, but definitely not any allround blade Wink
Excellent speed and spin in OFFENSIVE range.

I know they sell the new IVL as allround but this one is 93g and thick as a clipper so should be pretty fast.
Good to know the blade is probably more than 30 years old.

I had to check this from old tt magazines where is an add which states Tibhar IV-L as a new product for season 93/94 (add from my local dealer).

I just talked with elder colleague. He said red/black logo is for sure from 80's, but green/white or pink/white are more newer, middle of 90's he had the same blade like yours.
You have up to 26 years old blade in best case. I think production was not for a long time,
probably 3-4 years.
So your question is fully answered and hope you are fully satisfied.
