Thank you both for your input and advise. Griff, I was hoping that you would chime in as you have quite the collection of 17th badges.
I took your advice, hit the badge with a heat gun for a bit to lift the varnish and nail polish, a bit of a vinegar bath and was amazed by the difference.
I don't keep many British badges as I mostly look for Canadian ones but this one is going to stay for a bit I think. It's just gleaming now.
Thanks again
