When there is no finish I like to remove the dull tarnish with Flitz, Wenol, Simichrome, or any other similar product. You can make it shiny or use just a little bit to make it uniform. Or you can use cold blue (I know you just removed it) and then 0000 steel wool to give a uniform gray finish, quitting when you like the color. This one pictured is uniformly shiny and I like it better than dull. The polishes leave a protective film also. Just what I do.
