I have this DD M35 which is covered with a light rust. Do I clean it (oxalic acid) or do we leave it just as it is ? I'd appreciate your comments.
Many thanks

Only clean it if you want to cut its value in half.

If you clean the helmet you will kill the patina

Great pic

I agree, nothing to gain by cleaning, it has a very cool look to it.
