Every gun bench should have a tube of Semi-Chrome, and a can of Berryman's B-12. Anything else is optional. I once bought an engraved blue Smiff 19. Blue all over, nice engraving. I got it home and commenced to polishing it all purty with the Semi-Chrome, and shazam! Silver wire inlay all around the gun that had turned so dark it matched the blue!

if not too bad, it will do the trick. also finely powdered white chalk and spit and cloth -- all very carefully and frequent checks to make sure the blue is not being shaded or highlighted. I'd stick with spit and cloth.

Something like this should work on the silver but not mess up blueing.

There are paste polishes, and the abrasives are very fine, but I'd be leery of using them on a high polish blued finish.
