I etched (lightly) the blade and I found a pattern that IMO is nor pamor nor laminated steel. It looks to me like a not too contrasting wootz , but I must be wrong because this kind of iron be very unusual for this area and for this kind of tool/weapon. May I have Your opinion ? Thank You Paolo The pics of the blade close ups are the best I can do. Attached Images
