The brass ferrule is a little bit more than 1 mm. I don't know how strong it is by older ones.

Over 1mm sounds reasonable. Craftmanship of the ferrule (and brass pieces on scabbard) looks post-WW2 to me but seems to be ok to keep this way.

The tip of the blade was compressed but this I have grinded with a stone.

Compressed? Many smaller blade damages can be carefully straigthened out - I'd be reluctant to grind away even minor defects (to avoid loss of metal, changing the shape, etc.).
