Badge "Excellent State Labour Reserves".
Hi Guys,
Here's a nice badge from 1942/3, It's only problem Is a very dirty gold wreath, Does anyone think It would be ok to clean It . or would It be best to leave It alone ? Cheers, Nick. :) |

Awesome badge!!!! I love it.
"patina imparts character" Truer words were never spoken. :) However, some warm, soapy water and a soft toothbrush will remove crud but not patina. (rinse, and dry in a soft towel)
