Sorry to join in so late. Yes I agree with David in his observations. The lines seem later to me. DaveS I also think the blade is earlier than the hilt.

Regarding the centipede: this is actually a vegetative motif seen on other blades, not a centipede (again agreeing with David). Usually the centipede motif is in "movement" and a little wider from what I have seen on Moro blades so far.
