Ethnographic Arms & Armour - View Single Post - Kindjal with star pattern twistcore pictures needed

Hi all,
Been offered a Kindjal with what looked like a twistcore visible in the fullers.
There is an overlapping star pattern of four pointed 'compass point' stars.
It didn't look etched to me.
Two problems though.
1. It is a lot of cash and I need examples to compare it with before I lay down that kind of money.
2. The blade has a slight kink and will need straightening. Anyone want to guess how brittle the steel on Kindjals is?

Please help out if you have any pictures of star twistcore patterened Kindjals.
