London Scottish Badges

[rob63]

I would appreciate opinions on these four London Scottish badges. I have found identical examples on the website for a couple of them, but not the others.

Also, is there an accepted method to cleaning the verdigris off of the brass? Anything that works to keep it from coming back?

Sorry for that, back to the business at hand. I would appreciate opinions on these four London Scottish badges. I have found identical examples on the website for a couple of them, but not the others.

The shoulder titles appear to be kosher - you may find the following of interest:

Thank you! That thread is quite helpful.

Everything looks good. The cap badge is not the best strike, but I think it is ok from the photos that I can see.
Just polish the shoulder titles with any brass polish. Always give them a clean with hot water and dish soap to remove all traces of the polish. They will eventually attain a patina again, but if kept properly, no verdigris or corrosion should reappear.
There are those who prefer to keep badges in an uncleaned state, but that does nothing for their preservation in the long run.
