that is probally brass were the piece was welded together. As a general rule you will not see gold on afghan pieces.

Ah, that makes more sense; it didn't really look like the sort of traces that old koftgari leaves, but I couldn't think of what else it might be. Thanks!

Congratulations, Fenris.

That's a very nice sword. I love the patina on that handle; contrasts very nicely with the blade.
