I got a WWII gold screwback US seal cap badge that is a little rusted on the back and the front is worn and loosing its gold finish. Is there a way to restore the front to a gold color and get the rust off the back or is it not even worth it?

My opinion is leave it as is.

Don`t destroy any further.

Never use chemicals or such.

just use an old toothbrush and try to get the rust of very gently.

Might take a heck longer but you don`t destroy the golden finish on the front that way.
