Have you considered ultra-fine bead blasting? With a small detail unit it's pretty effective, and mild. I've tested it on some old engraved lockplates, the corrosion is removed with no visible loss of engraving, and no "peening".

I prefer wood to plastic, leather to nylon, waxed cotton to Gore-Tex, and split bamboo to graphite.
