Great find I wonder what color would be under the patina? Have you tried soaking it in some mineral oil? It wont hurt it but will bring back some of the original color.

I have not used any mineral oil it.

I typically dont use anything on relics. I often use hot water and a toothbrush to clean them. Sometimes I just us water and my fingers.
