I have purchased an enlisted spiked helmet of outstanding condition and rarity. Only problem: brass and silver fittings were previously outrageously polished. I was waiting for metal surfaces to naturally tarnish and this glow to dim, as normally happens in a few weeks/months; however, this does not seem to occur. I heard that some spray lacquer on polished metal to prevent tarnishing; I was wondering whether anyone on the forum has experience with this practice, and knows how such chemical protection can be safely removed...
Many thanks in anticipation.
