Hi Marc, while I am not directly a collector of Indian arms I have had the privilege of handing a few pieces over the years and a decent mount of wootz. From the photographs and the lamination seen at the tip of this katar, it seems to be more likely a pattern welded piece. I find the current patina quite beautiful and it seems to have decent age as well.

Certainly a better first purchase than I think many of us have made!
