That is a very old blade, with a nice etch. If it was me I would not do anything to it, until you are absolutely positive how to proceed and do the least damage to the etching.
Once you start removing steel, you can never put it back on.
You might want to contact Voidmonster, he is an avid pre 1900 razor collector and has been researching how to restore and re-etch, very old etching.

So I had an old peerless that had some great gold etching on it but I could not for the life of me get near the minor rusting. I cleaned out the pin holes and the tang as much as I could and then just used the razor on a regular basis. It is now nice and shiny and there are small rust marks but they are disappearing. It seems that using the razor worked for me.
