Great job there Mark, and a very pleasing Jennens maker mark to view too.

What a difference! You've arrested the verdigris and cleaned it up nicely, whilst retaining the "history" of the badge. Very nice What was the concentration of vinegar?
For what it's worth, I personally would leave as is now. It looks great. Thanks for showing.

Cheers

Colin
