Am I correct in that the example shown has a chisel edge? It appears that holding the blade away from the body by the grip that the right side is flat while the left is beveled? Would this make this a left-handed version, in that it would be easy to flatten and smooth a surface held vertically by the right hand with downward strokes?

No, they are both beveled. I really appreciate everybody's input on this blade. I have learned a lot. Even though I have much nicer examples in my collection it is still one of my favorites.
