Thanks.The covering is not varnish, but a blend of boiled linseed oil and lemon extract that I use to clean and preserve some of my items;it brings out the color of old paint, takes the dirt off and leaves the old patina (i.e., no change to the brass color).
The figures range in thickness from 1/16" to 1/8"; they are substantial enough to be pinned through the shield rather than inlaid or brazed on it .
