Hi Jim,
To me there is no doubt, that the blade you showed is of Indian origin.

Thank you so much Jens, your assessment is in my opinion the final word, and its good to have this settled to stand as a benchmark on these. It is interesting how the Indian artisans transcribed these Latin letters and phrases. I had read somewhere one opinion that this was unusual because the native artisans only read Sanskrit etc. however I cannot see how that would keep them from copying the words 'artistically' or especially in using stamps.
