Thanks to all for the comments. Yes, it does appear at one time to have been cleaned. I see residue in recessed areas such as inside the guard. It is still a lovely example of a WKC Heer though.
It has cleaned fittings ?
I think it is a flash reflection.
No, that's no flash IMO. You see clearly the dark patina in the recessed places. Of course it is not a disaster but many collectors like them not cleaned. Sometimes the fittings look dark as coal. (see picture)
