Default Liege Damascus Rosetta Stone

The Waite's very graciously shared their Manufacture Liegeoise D'Armes A Feu Damascus sample box with Austin, who published excellent images of this treasure in the Winter 2008 Parker Pages.
I've now had a chance to review the 20 segments and would observe:

No.1 Rubans III
No.2 Rubans II
No.3 Rubans Fins
No.4 Birmingham
No.5 Rubans Royal
No.6 Rubans Royal Extra is the Boston Extra example
No. 1-6 are all Twist variants
Segments No. 6 & 7 have been switched. No. 6 is clearly “Boston” large scroll symmetric Two Iron Crolle.

No.7 Boston II is the Rubans Royal Extra example
No.8 Boston Extra is 3 Iron
No.9 Bresilien II Wellington
No.10 Bresilien Extra Wellington Fin
ML Bresilien/Wellington are "Washington" patterns.
No. 11 Chainette is Lutticher Toncin.
No. 12 Crolle' II
No. 13 Crolle' I
No. 14 Crolle' Extra is a lower grade Bernard
No. 15 Bernard II
No. 16 Bernard I
No. 17 Leopold Bernard is 6 Iron “Oxford Superfine”
No. 18 Clou Fin is 4 Iron “Oxford”
No. 19 Turc Extra is 3 Iron “Turkish”
No. 20 Manufacture Extra is Lutticher Corche
