Nice puppy and complete. Yes not unheard of at all to have a crystalline pattern to the metal. Not wootz, but certainy crystalline structure. I had a budiak spear with a similar section to it (I think VVV has it now.).
Looks like the scabbard is missing 3 brass bands.... |

Jose, you have a sharp eye  The scabbard had lost sme bands, that in original were made of brass, as the one on the bottom but in a second time were substituted by rattan stripes that were lost again. I will restore when I have some times
