I hope I am wrong, but could some of the 'cracks' be the remains of decorative etching, now mostly worn or polished out?

Well, guys, I need all you help here: attached are many (maybe too much ) pictures of the result.... If in some parts seems that the blade could be twisted core, in other no at all!! So please, be so kind to be clear : it's me (i'm not an expert and this is not my field, so no offens) or it's the blade??? Thanks a lot
