I would go with the Hoppe's #9 and use a ScotchBrite pad.

Navel Jelly - at your local hardware store. It will remoce ALL oxidation right down to the bare steel. Eat wood too if ya let it and skin.
But the metal is just way clean and no abrasive of any kind is required.
I don't remember but it might be phosphoric acid. Water will wash it away but you might want to give the instructions a glance JIC.

how about some OOOO steel(or even better brass) wool with oil and gently going over it?As long as you don't put to much pressure on it or go over it mulitble times the bluing should be ok.

A thought or two on Kroil.
This product was developed to remove corrosion on marine engine and boat parts. Several years ago some of us antique car guys found it more than useful on our old cars. It simply cannot be beat for what it was intended to do.
Unlike WD40, it will not dry to a lacquer like mess that is difficult to remove.
As far as I know, it must be ordered from the firm (Tennessee I think) and is not available OTC.
As far as I am concerned it is worth many times its cost.
USE SPARINGLY !!!!!! A soaked toothpick seems a good idea to me.Should work to remove the corrosion in the engraving and not harm the metal or surface of the piece.

I'll cast another vote for Kroil. And, as Mr Mann mentioned, a little bit goes a long way.
It is available OTC although I don't see it in too many shops. Brownell's carries it.

Dan

I was wondering if I could find some "Navel Jelly" in mine? How do I identify it?
Should I stop showering for some weeks? :-)
