    When I encounter the same problem on smaller brass pieces, I put
    them in the vibrating tumbler with some stainless steel shot, and it
    takes off the stains beautifully without harming the etched pattern.
    If your pieces are small enough to put in the tumbler (even one end
    at a time) then you could try that.  Has anyone ever seen a
    vibrating tumbler or a magnetic tumbler for flat pieces?
