Hey Pat,
I might have misunderstood your statement, so not trying to ruffle any feathers because I'm no damascus expert and always willing to learn from the more knowledgeable like you.
Would you mind explaining in further detail your statement that all rose pattern damascus blades we see were made only by Paul Dinger? I might be wrong but wasn't their others that produced rose pattern damascus blades and or a combination there of like your small rose and maiden hair pattern. Like Alexander Muller, Max Dinger, Arthur Dinger, Karl Wester,etc..?
From your first picture I see the brighter lines that suggest a large rose pattern, but in your closeup pictures I see a small rose pattern? Is it just the pictures? Thanks for showing such fine blades for us to learn from. Best!
