I think for it's age it looks very clean the way it is. I would pretty much leave it alone.
That aside, that is a great find! Congratulations!!

I just put a light coating of quality oil, wiped it off and wrapped it up in a clean case. I'm putting out feelers to antique smiths - I'd like it to get it up to display, non firing quality - nothing fancy, I'm not looking for a monetary gain on this - just preservation.
Unless it's worth $8,000.
