Nice J-1 Wolf, photos w/o flash/bright light would assist in determining if cleaned, but as Alex said, looks like it may have been cleaned.

Hello Wolf,


I would agree with the guys, looks like it was scrubbed with some abrasive detergent.

Agree with the others....very nice original J-1 but cleaned of its patina.

No doubts for me either, definitely cleaned.

Wolf you have very nice badges but lot of your badges seems to be cleaned, could this be right?

Hi Guys,

what I certainly do not agree with is when an expert calls the badge

having been 'cleaned' with an "abrasive detergent" .

(I had that confirmed by a chemist !)

As one can see the badge probably had been carefully 'cleaned' off

environmental substances (like: cigarette smoke etc ...) without damaging the

frosting layer ..... which is still - in parts - on the wreath !

That remaining layer is soaked with 'dirt' - impossible to 'clean' with hot water and soap ! - and thus is not shiny anymore !

As one can see only protruding parts of the leaves show the basic 'Nickel - Silver'

material ! (That might have been caused by a 'rubbing' 'safety belt' on board)

Thanks for your kind help while hoping that my approach to 'cleaning'

meets your philosophy as well !

Again, I had purchased the badge as is and never 'cleaned' it myself !

Best regards

Wolf
