Well, it arrived today in good order. Bit of surface rust, especially near the tip, black oxide staining minor shallow pitting here and there. Gave her a good cleaning with wire wool. T-spine.
Bad news, no date. Good news - Pattern welded Twist core! Didn't even need to etch it. I had some suspicion as there looked like a slight colour difference along the edge in the vendor photos that looked like an inserted edge. Hoped for, and have a patterned core! |

Congratulations, it is a very nice old blade with Turkish ribbon. Even though it is not dated, everything points to the second half of the 18th century.
