Hi Pitt. I see the year 1898 upside down.

I had a feeling I was looking at it upside down. I will post that photo again but flipped.

I like the stippled decoration. I am a little confused by the western Arabic numerals.
A little unsolicited advice, more for general reference than you Pitt. Some careful work with sandpaper could fix a lot of those machine abrasive marks. Either handheld paper or by creating a block with felt on it to hold the wet/dry paper and moving the blade similar to a Japanese polish/sharpen. I had a blade with very similar damage, but less rounded and no stippling to protect that finished looking like this. Use caution around the point they like to get thin.
