Project wappen after French or German repairs

I bought the wappen on ebay. I thought that there would not be much work with it. It turned out that it was soft-soldered (tin with lead), and it still turned out to be pulled out of the ground and trampled. I had to let go so that the material became malleable. I started the repair by properly aligning the parts with hard solder (silver with copper and zinc) then it went downhill. The result is satisfactory. Generally, I repaired it in my spare time from other repairs. Today, as a test, I covered it with varnish. Judge for yourself how it came out.

German wappen repair - soft soldering (tin with lead). The predecessor did not do well with the wappen. The crown did not fit and he poured too much binder, which he had to reinforce with pieces of sheet metal. The rear after painting with gold lacquer. It does not match the rest. The front has solder coming out, which already has aged emblems.
After I finish the topics from customers then I will get down to the actual repair.
