PLEASE, OH PLEASE, make sure to tell him not to clean it when he repairs it.

I had the ring fall off the BM I recently had researched. Came back for a clerk who was involved in Stalingrad. Even used that word on the award citation.

Well, when I picked it up yesterday it now has this lovely pasty while look to it instead of the shiny coat it once had. Granted years from now it will look again as it did but for now I have this ugly red-headed step-child staring me in the face.

BTW, any of the forum members have a suggestion how I can speed up the process of getting it back to it's original look? Toothpaste, iodine?
