Because I suspected that the date could be doubled or something, I used a safe porcupine quill to wipe around those devices. It doesn't damage the patina and works better than a rose thorn. But because it removed some of the embedded encrustation it typically does leave that type of an effect. Report this Post to the Staff

It could, however, cause a buyer to give it a downgrade. Your comment is very helpful and does support the ever-present fact that 'perception is reality' in anyone's mind. Going forward I'll still use the quill to uncover a potential upward re-punch or DDO on a date etc. This would be worth the risk in terms of ROI compared to a non destructive minor cleaning. The bottom line is that I'll try to uncover only the most probable PUP without doing an entire cleaning of the area adjacent to a date... thx Report this Post to the Staff
