[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 2823537, member: 10461"]I agree. In this case, an attempt at conservation is likely to make it look even worse. You'd really have to strip it down to bare metal, and by the time you did, what would be left would likely be hideous. At least with the verdigris on there it has a "relic" patina not unlike some ancient coins.
