Yes, this is an original and beautiful dagger of rebirth.

How thick is the blade? Looks like it may have been re-purposed? Its obviously had acid on it but for cleaning or aging?

At the edge it has 1,0mm, at the ridge in the middle of the blade 5,8mm. The rough surface of the blade has perhaps had acid on it but I think it might be tannic acid of the leather of ist scabbard.

More likely it was heavily rusted and got cleaned with some acid or de-corroder.

I'm a little surprised that the nails are not rose headed for how nice the rest of it is.
