But I agree with Jimmy, it's probably just a marketing thing.
I just got one from my brother that has that frosting and etching but the blade is a spikey/square point.

Nice looking blade, but I haven't honed it up yet.

The marque probably refers back to the high quality Wootz steel known to the British through their Imperial adventures in India, though I highly doubt that they used real Indian steel in Sheffield razors, what with all that nice Sheffield Crucible steel laying around the W&B works.
