I am not sure about that, but I think I also see an indicator the blade was reheated at some point.

Thank you Gustav; this is a very interesting observation. So if an older blade has been reworked/altered to introduce a new (or complementary) pamor pattern one of the telltale indicators would be a thinner blade? So you see remnants of the older pamor pattern that has been overlaid by the Udan Mas? May I ask what other trait(s) you see on the blade that might indicate it is has been altered in this way? Thanks
