I may not be too quick to clean it. It is somewhat a matter of personal preference and how it will be used (worn or displayed?) I am no expert, but when it comes to many collectables, some buyers greatly prefer not having it cleaned, preferring the natural patina. It is possible cleaning it, or certainly in the wrong way, could decrease the value.
