The back of the plate is quite dirty and has some light pitting, I've given it a bit of a clean and in good light I can still make nothing out... I'll keep cleaning tomorrow and see how it comes up. Could anyone recommend something to clean years of dust, what looks like lime scale and dirt from the plate? I've already used plenty of hot water, metho and prep wash... Not moving it.

Thanks

I had a bit of a search but didn't find that one. I'll try cleaning again tomorrow now that I have the info.

I'd like to see very early HJ tags from Acacia and see how they are. These use HQ rivets.
