A very good question.
I have a broken "RF City of London" shoulder title. It has been suggested that I get it repaired, but as I don't have the missing part and no idea what battalion number it originally had it made me think I might be creating a fake?
So I have kept it as found.
Another thing I find amazing is Antique dealers taking wooden wartime ammo boxes and trunks and stripping them back to bare pine, but they all know you shouldn't polish the patina off a bronze statue, a real double standard.
I guess the end user needs to make the decision, not the dealer?
