I think the metal on mine is a bit more degraded than yours. Shame. Doesn't look much like brass to me. Val Title: Re: For Handyman Post by: handyman [Alan} on August 20, 2012, 09:42:45 PM wow, thats very good Val.
great first effort Title: Re: For Handyman Post by: Val Beechey on August 20, 2012, 09:45:29 PM Thanks Al, I know you dont realy mean it but I love you :-*
Val Title: Re: For Handyman Post by: handyman [Alan} on August 20, 2012, 09:49:24 PM oh but i do mean it .... the detail is exquisite, now add a bit of clean engine oil, let it dry thoroughly and then buff it up with a soft cloth

But not to worry I used it anyway. ;D
MarkyMark. Have a look on Detecting Finds on the Forum. Look for 'One for The Military Buff' posted by Hanyman(ALAN) Thats where he gives us his method of cleaning. Best of luck. Val Title: Re: For Handyman Post by: mucker on August 21, 2012, 03:23:42 PM Something spooky going on
