A quick question from someone unfamiliar with caring for such pieces. Do collectors of trophies, plaques, etc. universally support polishing/cleaning them? Personally, I don't believe I would want to clean it for fear of losing some of the detail. The 120yr acquired patina isn't so bad. Of course, I reserve the right to change my mind once I see it polished
