I agree. Forge flaws usually do not have such nice clean rectangular lines. It looks to me like a repair was attempted somewhere in this blades past life. Of course it's possible a forge flaw caused the repair to be necessary. One reason I like these blades so much is they where so hard to make. A very cool blade with history for your family and a story to tell!
