Silver Inlay in Oclussion
In the bottom photo showing the spine of the blade, note the silver inlayed into the oclussion. Have only seen inlay into oclussions done on well made blades, usually with silver. Could it be a trend of a certain manufacturing area or a certain blade maker? Have had one example that had gold inlayed into the oclussion.
Also want to point out the pitting on cross guard.
