Hi Jean,
I'm not sure either. The seller thought it was. I'll post some close-ups as soon as time allows. Thanks for the info!

The blade is Madura or East Jawa, most likely Madura, but even so, the pamor in the sorsoran has several possibilities, and at the moment I cannot see it clearly enough to be too positive about what I'm looking at, I'm not at home right now and I'm using a very small, very cheap notebook.

The blade crack probably started as a cold shut --- a welding flaw --- but would then have been preserved and refined to make it into a magically charged complong that will capture beautiful women and late model Maseratis for you, simply by looking through the crack at them and wishing.
