I do not recall having ever seen that pattern before, although I do agree that it is integral to forging of the blade and that this is wootz. A most interesting piece.

Aside, the reference to speaking with Dr. Figel is remarkably disingenuous and, for me, that auction page is also remarkable for the number of 'warning flags' it contains.
