Default Bringing out engraving

Just curious, been looking at some of the fine guns in the albums. I love how distinctive the engraving looks in those pictures. I have 2 guns a GH and a DH that have nice engraving but the patina is so dark that you have to hold them in the light to really see the details.

Is there anything that can be done to bring out the engraving or lighten the patina a little. Not a huge deal I like the guns regardless. I have tried bore cleaner pad and reminders oil on the gh but it didn't do much. Thx for your time as always.
