Thank you Detlef for the kind response and for taking the time to look at the piece!
I need to clarify one important point: the photograph showing the line you mentioned is not of the blade at all, but of the upper scabbard mount, where the silver sheet wraps around the wooden core. A visible line there is entirely expected and normal. The blade itself is single and solid, with no such construction.
The blade mark and a close-up of the blade are actually in the left photograph in my original post, next to the image you quoted. I hope this helps clarify the piece a little further.
I very much appreciate any further thoughts.
I appreciate the reference to the jambiya thread.
