Hello Ann,
not an unbiased sample but Artzi mentions wootz/sham with a few of his sold pieces, e. g.: http://www.oriental-arms.co.il/item.php?id=2209 http://www.oriental-arms.co.il/item.php?id=2730 And an oddball: http://www.oriental-arms.co.il/item.php?id=2140 Regards, Kai |

Ann,
I have owned 2 or 3 over the years but unfortunately do not own them any longer. So they do exist! |

Search function
A few minutes spent with the search function will reveal some interesting topics.
This is the best in my opinion though; http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...wootz+yataghan Gavin Nugent |

Ann,
Gavin's reference has 2 of mine. I still have them. If you are interested in publishing them, let me know what do you want to show on the pic and the resolution. I will also need your e-mail address to send the pics. Good luck! Ariel |

Hi Ann!
