This is a wise decision. I am sure, this blade is made from wootz. But the lightest kind of etching can destroy the decorations. A few months ago I killed golden remains on my german small sword, without direct contact to the etchant, just a few bubbles. My heart is still bleeding.
I would leave it as it is and only stop the corrosion.

This fantastic dream of a blade is too good for experiments.

Kind regards Roland
