It seems (but is not muchrach) from the AhS 394:1-3
<http://bit.ly/daTKRm>. As I wrote (in part) in 2010
<http://www.aishdas.org/avodah/vol27/v27n095.shtml#07>. The AhS
distinguishes between a global minhag from the Geonic period not to
marry and a later minhag bemedinos ha'eilu. He attaches the minhag
of 1-33 (and including miqtzas yayom kekulo) to when the talmidei R'
Aqiva died (s' 4-5) and the minhag of the last days to "minhag shelanu"
(s' 5), localizing the last days to the descendent of those who fled
the Crusaders east.

Tir'u baTov!
