[QUOTE="Stork, post: 2777198, member: 71642"]Thanks for all the comments! Yes I will! I'm at work this weekend so can't take a look at it more closely like [USER=112]@GDJMSP[/USER] suggest...but I will when I get home. Interesting as one 'look' does have a distinct reddish tint to it. Although I'm generally happy to swish away with acetone I'm a bit leery of expanding my chemistry set at the possible expense of this particular medal. It really was hard to find and isn't something to experiment with. [USER=8959]@Eduard[/USER] I have noticed a few times my copper based/bronze medals will look a little more drab after acetone...not enough to worry about and thought I was imagining things a couple times. I do like to 'wash off' my new buys--especially after an eBay seller has a photo with his/her grimy mitts all over a medal in the sales photos (who knows what was for lunch that day??!!).
