Hi Alex,

No Wootz that I can speak of, a little bit of lamination though.
I too could not see it being that old either, my thoughts were late 1800's early 1900's but alas I beleive it was described as such back in 1996.
The Koftgari patterns, can they reveal anything further about the origins of this piece?

regards

Gav
