German silver cleaning/polishing

[Pistolblast]

I have my german silver furniture, but caps etc for a pistol build but don't know how to
shine it up

Well if it has already been previously polished, the same product you use to polish brass will work on nickel (German) silver.

if you are talking about a raw casting or one that is only at a 100 grit finish or so…that is a whole different can of worms.

I don’t know anything about BC firearms (but I’m learning) I do know much about metalworking. I have been doing and teaching jewelry making, silversmithing and pewtersmithing for decade. Well actually only taught for about 15 years.

A photo of the current condition (a closeup to where the level of polish is evident) would help to give you the proper answer/guidance.

Thanks for that, I did try Wrights brass polish and the ammonia in there shined it up great
