<p>[QUOTE="gsimonel, post: 2586404, member: 82549"]The second one looks like it was heavily encrusted and some started cleaning it with electrolysis. It also looks like it might still be silvered. Further electrolysis would remove the rest of the encrustation, but would also remove any remaining traces of silver wash. I would first try picking at the deposits with brass tools under a stereo microscope. If neither electrolysis nor a stereo microscope is possible, then stick with distilled water and lost and lots of patience.</p><p><br /></p><p>The first one is done.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
