			Hello Ann, 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	not an unbiased sample but Artzi mentions wootz/sham with a few of his sold pieces, e. g.: http://www.oriental-arms.co.il/item.php?id=2209 http://www.oriental-arms.co.il/item.php?id=2730 And an oddball: http://www.oriental-arms.co.il/item.php?id=2140 Regards, Kai  |

			Ann, 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	I have owned 2 or 3 over the years but unfortunately do not own them any longer. So they do exist!  |

			A few minutes spent with the search function will reveal some interesting topics.

			Ann, 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	Gavin's reference has 2 of mine. I still have them. If you are interested in publishing them, let me know what do you want to show on the pic and the resolution. I will also need your e-mail address to send the pics. Good luck! Ariel  |

			Hi Ann! 
		
		
		
			I found one of these last year, nice silver handle too. I have not revealed the pattern yet, though. 23" OAL...
