I cannot immediately recognise what the maker was trying to produce.

We may be looking at a unique design, we may be looking at a failed attempt, or we may be looking at a variation of a conventional motif.

I will need to spend some time on analysis of this pamor motif before I am prepared to comment.

It goes without saying that working from a photograph is very far from being an ideal situation. This blade should really be examined under magnification and from a number of angles, in order to form an opinion.

Incidentally, in my opinion this blade was not made in Solo. It may have "come from Solo", but it was not produced there. Most likely point of origin is Madura.
