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 did find (a little) info over here http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showth...awesome?highlight=gold service set&styleid=17
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.
