When we get a new brass helmet, for example, it's almost a mirror finish on the outer surfaces. Somehow, I don't think a soldier in the field could keep his brass that shiny, especially after a while of use. So what degree of "shininess" would be realistic? Like what you would get from, say, 4-0 steel wool?
Wood ashes will give a pretty good gloss, but not really mirror-like, to metals, is that the right amount of shine?
