This is an antique store find as you can see it has reverse etching that’s very light and I know any kind of polish would instantly remove it. Does anyone think that I could use something like baking soda and water or toothpaste?
In the upper corner at the tip of the to toe thereIs a few dark spots with hitting active rust removed with a bid on the spine and some of the tail would be nice to get this little cleaner and also remove some of the tarnish near the edge (hard to see in pics) but I don’t really want to touch it if it’s going to remove the etching.
Does anybody have any techniques and methods they use? I can live with the pitting and light tarnish but if there is a way that would be nice
Need to do some fine wet sanding on tail and maybe spine but rest just polish with Flitz or Maas and restore scales.
