    If it was mine I would take a metal polish such as Flitz or what have you, q-tip and paper towel and give the blade a rub. Maybe neatsfoot on the scales and call it restored. It took almost 200 years for it to get to where it is. Polishing it up like a new dime in a goat's ass, putting on some shiny scales, would be a shame IMHO. YMMV. I have quite a few like your Greaves, speaking of condition, patina, bug bites and all. They shave great and if they could talk, what a story they could tell.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
