Here is a rotated and enLarged picture of the stamp on the ricasso. The blade appears to have some age in line with Jim's estimate. Anyone recognise the stamp? What is the likelihood that this could be a wootz blade? There are areas near the junction of the ricasso and sharpened edge that look promising, and if Jim's date estimate is correct then the chances are good.
