I look forward to sharing pics of the sword with my fellow forumites as soon as I have had a chance to clean it up a little and etch the blade.

Congratulations Charles!!!

By all means, it was the risk worthy of a nice Persian wootz blade reward And hats off for recognizing (or guessing?) it. I know it was not easy
I also noticed the dark uneven color of the blade, but based on this alone I had no clues. If/when possible, please post some close-ups of the blade... and tips on how to spot wootz without close-ups
