Yes you can etch the blade and find out if it has laminations or at least a temper line.

It looks fantastic Robert!
What a transformation.

Thank you Gene but this one was really easy. A little ammonia and warm water on the blade to remove the filth and then a soft toothbrush and Murphy Oil Soap on the wooden hilt for the same purpose. A through drying and some oil on the blade and Ren Wax for all and it's done. I just wish that they were all this easy to clean.
