I used Brasso Brass Polish for my 1935 Colson headbadge. I then washed it thoroughly, and allowed it to sit somewhere clean and dust free for a few days until I smelled no more traces of residual ammonia from the polish. I then painted in the lettering, and put a clear lacquer over the entire piece so it won't tarnish again. If there is any original paint on your badge still, I think it could be damaged by the Brass Polish, and would need to be redone afterwards. I see some of the writing on your badge; if it is embossed or etched into the metal, I think it will be safe, but if it is paint that the lettering is made of, it could be damaged like I said. I've been using that same bottle of Brasso for nearly 10 years, and still have plenty left, so it last quite a long time. Good Luck with your project, and keep us posted!
