Mark, you are right that some of this is thick koftgari. I should have been more specific. I was refering to some of the copper and silver flowers according to what I can see of the pictures. I did not see any incised lines on the ferrule. If there are and I misssed them, then I stand (well, sit) corrected.
OOPS!
Just took another close look at the ferrule and end - I think you may be right. These areas may very well be koftgari in process.
