I understand Andrew's question, as I have never seen or heard of steel inlaid in steel. This does not mean that it could not have been done, and I respect your judgement, but could the inlay be another softer metal looking like steel?

Hi Jens,
This is quite possible. Runjeet, Rsword, Battara, and myself all had a very good look at it. What is for sure is that it is not silver, gold, nor "white metal" or silver alloy.....could it be something other than steel???...sure, but the etched hue looks like steel to us.
...and yes, it is quite a strange sight, and really reflects my idea of this being an "all business" sword.
Thanks for your input.
