    I recently rescued this US Service Set from the wild. I have been watching for some time and haggled a price.

    These sets were originally nickel plated. But this has no plating at all... case, razor, blade safe.

    I can't decide if I should leave the patina it go for it and make it shine.

    That looks great as is. If it were mine, I would leave it alone, just cleaned up. If you need my address, just PM me.

    I am thinking that is what you have. I for one wouldn't polish and display it.

    I cleaned it up (the store had it taped shut. & years of grime), straightened up the tray a bit.

    It's next to my khaki set, all snug. [​IMG]
