A weld at the blade junction? Not that I can see. Just WS on one side and the "bend' mark on the other. Stack wood grips. If old-smithy says it could be a fantasy piece, I can't argue. Blade is 8 inches long with a very deep blood groove on both sides. It is rough but I believe that was because it was placed on a metal sheath. Did No5s have metal sheaths? Thanks!!
