Patent Brass Frameback restoration

After:
If anyone has info as to a manufacturer that would be awesome. Also, does anyone have experience with tarnishing on large brass parts like this? I was wondering about lacquering to prevent that.sharptonn and Str8Shooter like this.

Great job. I love those brass framebacks. As far as protecting the brass, lacquer is what I've always used.
