Default It is WOOTZ!

As the blade had some spots of superficial rust, I alocated today a couple of hous cleaning it. The rust came off nice and easy but, to my surprise while cleaning the blade some watering pattern became quite apparent.

So I guess the blade is wootz.

Please have a look at the photos and let me know what you think!

And still hoping to get a translation of the cartouches...
