Yes your blade looks be be a bit over cleaned you can tell by the fullers they have a tired appearance to them but it is still a good sword in good condition.
Over cleaning is an occupational hazard that we collectors must deal with. If your sword was all nasty and rusted you may not have bought and on the other hand if it were pristine you would have paid four times as much for it so in this way you have settled for the middle ground.
