The levers are andodized, aren't they? If you've got something like a complete Nuovo Record group with some pantographed parts, I would be very reluctant to remove the anodized coating from anything. If the bike (or the parts) have "collector value" then de-anodizing and polishing, in my opinion, is far more significant damage than a few scratches.
