world gathers for metal finishing

How do you take the finish off an old engraved silver trumpet?
Just trying to restore a 1880 cornet. I thought it was brass, but it is silver. Could I use a liquid stripper? Or a heat gun
[on
eBay or
Amazon]?
Any suggestions?

Try 300 gm sodium thiosulphate [on eBay or Amazon] solution(dissolve it in 1 lit water). precipitated chalk [affil links] mixed with water and few drops of ammonia [on eBay or Amazon] can be used too. Hope it helps and good luck!
