Working on restoring my father-in-law's Model 71 cathedral. It didn't have the knobs or escutcheon when we brought it home, but my mother-in-law managed to find them. Just got them in the mail today.

The escutcheon is in good shape, but it's pretty badly discolored. I *think* it's brass. What's the best thing to use to clean it? Brasso?

Here's what I'm dealing with:
