Oh really...I didn't realize German collectors had to adhere to such regulations.

Nobody said to apply heat. The methods mentioned in previous posts are recommended by a great many advanced collectors. Vaseline merely seals the badge. Obviously one would give a gentle cleaning and a thorough rinsing. The point of this is to remove the zinc pest...so that it cannot continue to deteriorate the badge.

It's fortunate that you are not curator of the museum where this badge resides, then.
What exactly is your problem with anyone who has a slightly differing opinion to yours...why are you even on forums if you have such difficulty interacting with other human beings? Give it a rest, I grow tired of your nonsense, attitude and indecipherable ramblings. And, I'm certainly not alone.
