Thanks Magpie
Cleaned this badge when I first got it 20 years ago, the way you have stated, hence Un- marked Silver, ( it came up lovely)
What you see is TARNISH the badge is not burned at all (my photo skills need to improve)
As for badly messed with ??? Haven't got a clue what that means??? (But doesn't sound good at all).
Best wishes
Mark.
