Gene, you are right man...thats pretty amazing.
Without visible wootz I would too peg this blade as a european/ east european with its wide single fuller and that type of a false edge being additional confirmations. The only thing that I would think twice about would be its drastic curve, euro blades dont usually curve to such degree.

Dude... pattern looks awesome, nice and crisp, high contrast, from limited pics looks pretty clean thruout the blade (no large imperfections)...beaut!!!
You know what will be even more of a shock: if you got time try to work on the guard.... what if its wootz as well? double shocker
