Not an expert here, at all, but I think your issue is rust removal, polishing the blade, and doubt a re-grind is necessary. I think the knife has just been stored improperly.
I also think maybe 70s or earlier, based on the aged stag. I have an early 80s model one, stag handle, that is no where near as aged looking.
Nice knife. Congrats!
