Relic 98k bayonet

Hi all,
This is a very interesting forum. I have a 98k relic bayonet that my father found in Nuremburg in the early 1950s. For better or worse, he painted the metal parts to stop the rust. I'm wondering if it is worth it to remove the paint and if so what is the best technique to do so. The metal underneath has lots of small pitting from rust.
