Neil If it is a genuine one my advice would to leave it as it is I collect badges of the Worcestershire Regiment and I know that by cleaning these olds things up you can vastly reduce the value Clive |

Neil, Take your time, no hurry for the photo's. As for cleaning, you have to be very carefull. I have attempted to clean mine and only made it worse.

Hi, the camera was my son's and I'm afraid it is now defunct, so no photos. I felt I had to have a go at cleaning the helmet, as it was so soiled it couldn't really be displayed. I found something called Tableau Spot Remover on the internet which has worked. I sprayed it all over the helmet lightly, and when it dried to a white powder brushed it off. I did this three times and the helmet is much cleaner and looks fine. I could probably clean it up more but am happy with it as it is now. Thanks for your interest. Neil
