Well , I think I'm seeing some cold shuts in the pictures of this tulwar so it's likely to be a pattern welded blade . The thing to keep in mind when considering an etch is that to do it successfully you must remove the patina which is an irreversible step .
Then again from the pictures I'm not so sure I see much patina ; you'll know better when you receive it .

Yeh , of course you can repolish from a vinegar etch ... as long as it isn't etched to the point of being topographic .
