Thanks TVV,

Interesting discussion,

Thanks Tim,

I agree the leopard is outstanding. Unfortunately it was being sold as a Benin bronze rather then a African edged weapon, which placed it way out of my league :eek: .

Beautiful Guy.

Hi All,

I agree with Rick, this is a very strange wootz pattern?? Could this be Arab Damascus?
