My latest trophy project. This one was a bit more challenging in the sense that I had to approach this one completely differently. Instead of being able to gently clean this one with silver cleaner like I did the first one, this was more of a science experiment. Perhaps the silver plating was too thin on this trophy but I couldn't even "gentle clean" without losing plating and luster. My other approach, God Bless the internet

, involved aluminum foil, baking soda, salt, and near boiling water

The darkened areas that are still present in the after picture arent tarnish but rather missing silver plating.
