Somebody told me that a while ago and when I was restoring. My recent m1 it just rusted faster, maybe I used the wrong oil? -

You know Annie could feel, hear, smell and taste what you just said, right? They hear through osmosis and she does not look happy! -

I Imagine a light coat of oil would help, but painting it would be a crime! I like it as is, the patina is great. Awesome find, Matt. -

Good evening, This badge was my grandfather's. You'll find him on the rolls of the 103rd - McQuilkin. He joined the Squadron in October of 1918. It seems to bear the character of the fine pieces shared by "Escadrille" in a thread from last year. I saw on one of the forum threads here that someone had found a reference that identified some badges were enameled as is my grandfather's. I have a portrait of him immediately upon returning home. He is wearing his French Fourragere and what I assume is one of his two badges, again the badge is blurry since the photograph focuses on the left breast with wings and ribbons, not the right. Yes, he had the silver version as well, according to my mother. Apparently, another of my relatives inherited that badge, I have never seen it. She and her sister wore those badges while escorting my grandfather during many WWI Overseas Flier Conventions in the 1970s and 1980s. That's the story I heard. -

I thought about cleaning off the rust, but keeping bare steel rust-free seems like a losing battle. -
