Hi RSWORD,
Thanks for the reply.
I thought it looked like wootz but I couldn't identify the pattern or why it was so 'flowing' and even (if that makes any sense?) and began to wonder if I was just being hopeful.
Edit:
AH! 'sham' refers to the flowing semi straight pattern without any swirls etc!
Yes, I looked through some old threads!
Regards
