Hi Sandeep,

Please understand I am no expert, and that is certainly not the impression I intended to convey. Also I don't believe that any of us are really experts anyway.

If we were, then there would be no need for Forums like this one!

I think that all of us are learning until the day we die, and by sharing the information we individually have, enhances the general knowledge of all of us.

The link I gave you has a broad description of the origins of Damascus steel, and I thought would put you on the right track as to dates etc. .

Regards,
Stuart

using the search command will bring up a wealth of past info on damascus steel, here is one link to a thread here with a bit more info:

'damascus steel' is what is now generally applied to pattern welded steels of differing compositions, while wootz (or balut in russian) is the crucible 'watered' steel made famous in the old eastern and middle eastern legends. the history is murky at best, pattern welded damascus was found in early viking swords, and even earlier roman ones.
