Hi KuKulzA28 sorry for slow repley, Ive been suspended for a while, Its a lovely old Nepalese made blade with a symbol traditionally used by some Nepalese Blacksmiths.

Some blades with this mark turned up in the cache of IMA & Atlanta cutlery, brought out of the Nepalese palaces & storehouses in 2003.

At least one example carrying a similar mark turned out to be wootz.
