Found another little one on Ebay.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MEWN:IT&ih=002

It has a nice wooden scabbard, with one metal ring missing. The blade is pattern welded, although fairly low contrast, and is very sharp on both sides.
Here are 3 pics.
Steve

Well Steve, you just showed me that these with this kind of engraving are not just tourist pieces because of the damascus steel.

also - on the scabbard I see evidence of acutally 2 bands missing - a small one in the middle and a larger one at the bottom.

Wonderful blade!

We're ALL learning here. I wouldn't have bet on it being pattern welded either.

Two bands eh? I think I have just enough silver for that. Thanks!
