Flavio, the inlay can be brass . I have seen even nice brass koftgaris which were difficult to seperate from gold . Copper is too weak against corrosion for such an application i guess. In inlay,the steel is carved and brass is hammered into it carefully until there is a smooth surface with no height difference. But the inscription on this blade is a true inlay or something like "onlay"??
