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.

Nice find,
