 Now the structure is washed out because of wear. In some areas is completely worn out.
You can definitely be right but that will become only clearer after a new and proper etching of the blade.
When I said that it looks Persian to me, I based my assertion on the shape of the watering streaks (with rather long directional portions, somehow similar to the ones of the kard below).
