Some years ago I got a set of 19th century C. Kruspe clarinets. The German silver keys were heavily corroded (I wouldn't call it rust but dezincification; the copper and zinc components of German silver separate on the surface under atmospheric conditions). I used rotating brass brushes on a Dremel or Proxxon tool and got quite a smooth surface without bruises. But be careful and wear glasses:The brass bristles tend to fly off and are not easily removed from the eye.

(Sorry, I missed attaching pictures here; see next posting)
