Some interesting facts about damas:
http://heuse.spahistoire.info/chinhotcanondamas.htmlalso about the "letter" pattern
"Quelques uns parvinrent agencer les diffrents mtaux de la masse de manire faire ressortir une inscription dans le dessin du damas, par exemple : Lopold II Roi des Belges " what means: Some succeeded in arranging the various metals of the mass in such a way as to bring out an inscription in the design of Damascus, for example: "Leopold II King of the Belgians"
The secret lies in "arranging the various metals.."
I would really like to see this pattern!
cheers,
