Hi Folks,
I found this Dutch military button today:
Can someone help with (approximately) dating this?
Also, what would be the best way of cleaning this? It looks like brass to me.
Thanks in advance!![]()

These buttons were used by the Dutch between the two wars and had a brons finition. They didn't need to be polished then and I wouldn't do it now neither!

Hey Karmold, I will give my answer here, inbox is very confined!
These buttons were used since 1922 until WWII.
Like I said before, I would not touch (clean) it!
The brons layer might come of, leaving you a bright cupper button,and that was not ment to be so.
They were used by different land army components, navy and air force were different.
