Non european blade on Napoleonic saber

I just posted new information on this thread on the European forum.. please cross reference.

The information I added I believe adds compelling evidence this may indeed be a Solingen blade and supports the suggestions by Oliver and Ariel.

Thank you Roland for adding the additional detail on Zlatoust, indeed a fascinating possibility which may still be connected. It seems there were a number of makers working with watered steel blades at the time.
