Hi Rick, oh yes indeed, most unusual, but I must admit that the embossing is due to my bad photograph. Also, I was a bit surprised myself when I saw the picture, but the letters are stamped into the metal.

Karni, do you have any comments on this?
Do you know how common it was to make 'copy' blades of the European ones, and why, as the Indian blades were exported in a great number?
