No worries.
An overnight soak in old pickle vinegar then scrub with a toothbrush and fairy washing up liquid under warm water does remove (at least some) original black finishes. You may likely need to repeat the process. If no effect after a couple tries it will need a different approach.
I’d say your options are:
1. leave it alone
2. re-black it in its current condition, this may produce an uneven finish.
3. strip it and leave it as GM
4. strip it and then re-black
