Katar

This is the first ethnographic weapon I ever bought. I saw it at an acquaintance's house and was fascinated by this weapon unknown to me, we are talking 30/35 years ago. Bought this Katar at a fair for antique weapons a little later. No idea if it was a good specimen but I was immediately sold. Oal 41.5 cm. At the tip there is a texture to be seen, wootz maybe. I have made some damascus steel in the past but I have no experience with wootz. Bought in this condition, no idea if it's worth etching or leaving it like this. Would love your comments.

Best regards
Marc
