I have the catalog of a signature similar to - Eichhorn - sabers for all parts of the world - including the United States and Europe, and there is no single damascus example.

Thanks Broadaxe for the confirmation re. Bulat etc.
Hello again Fernando,
Ido understand your thoughts, but it is a laminated blade, I can "see" it is, Ive etched many,many blades.
Decorative etches & stamped riccasos can be finnished off without showing the blade structure. This did used to be done in Germany.
But if you wish to belive own thoughts, then please do! our thoughts help govern our lives after all, so we are used to trusting them. { I must admit this forum has finaly after many years also taught me that its pointless {or timewaisting.} to argue facts against peoples beliefs....}
But either way enjoy it, Its an interesting sword!
Best regards,
Spiral
