Default Damascus Saber for appreciation / Sable de Damasco para apreciación

This is a saber circa 1870, sold by a Buenos Aires's trader and built by Kirschbaum (stamped with "Casco" or "Yelmo" ) that has a Damascus blade. We would like to know if the damascus is legitimate or a fake. It is noteworthy that in the picture with scrolls the background does not show the damascus. I have seen several damascus imitations in pocket pistols barrels from same period.

Sincerely,
Fernando K


Se trata de un sable circa 1870, vendido por una casa importadora de Buenos Aires construído por Kirschbaum (marca "Casco" o "Yelmo") con hoja con damasco. Querríamos saber si el damasco es legítimo o una imitación. Sobre todo me llama la atención que en el dibujo de las volutas el fondo no muestre el damasco. He visto la imitación en pistolas de bolsillo de la misma época.

Afectuosamente,
Fernando K
