I just cleaned the blade and etching. no trace of wootz!

It sure does look better without the active rust...
While Ariel certainly has a point regarding limited likelihood of it being wootz, I don't think the current condition is conclusive enough to decide either way. I do believe this blade does deserve a quality polish and subsequent etch to make any details visible. Even if it is likely to not be wootz, I'm confident that a nicely laminated blade will show up.
