Question Signature saber.

[lokomilo]

Hello,

Can you tell me what corresponds to the white powder that can be found on the signature of certain blade?

As here for example:

Chalk to highlight the signature done by the person selling the sword I guess

Myself, I use talcum powder to highlight a signature, easier to dust off afterwards.

Thank you for your help.
