hi jonathon

why clean it,it looks fantastic as it is.imo you are cleaning all the history off this fine cross.at the end of the day it is yours to do as wish with but i never clean any of my crosses as i believe they look far better as they are found.

Jonathan,
It's just starting to look good. Leave it alone.

DO NOT CLEAN A BEAUTY LIKE THAT

Jonathan,

There are plenty of minty ones out there to find. The salty ones or crosses with 60+ years of patina should stay the way they are imho. Beautiful cross by the way and I wish you the best of luck in your collecting.
