It is an original, it is starting to have some zinc pesting by the look of it.

I was just wondering, what would be the best way to deal with the zinc pesting?

Use a cotton swab and sparingly apply some Vaseline, (petroleum jelly), leave on over night, and carefully remove as much as possible the next day.
