Vintage Clan Badge Advice Needed

[davidlpope]

These are beautiful old silver badges. I don't think that I'd do anything to them.

Just think of them as "salty cammies".....Why would you want them to look new?

Totally agree with Tim. Really hot soapy water, followed by a rinse with boiling water right out of the kettle, will do wonders for silver, be it cap badges or "eating tools". Let the silver dry on a soft towel, then give it a good polish with a linen tea towel, nothing else. No pastes, etc. Just a linen towel and plenty of elbow grease! Your silver will glow when you've finished, and no details will be lost.
