At least I know where to buy decent silver cleaner and cleaning cloths from!
Interesting what was said in that stuff you put up though Dave, i'm not sure if they are stating that oxidized silver is better than gold (as gold doesn't at all) but it says oxidized silver is better than the same but copper.. Click it

I'm not sure what to make of it, i guess if you have two clean silver terminals & connect them together where they are joined it won't oxidise, just stop air getting to it will prevent it

I'm still going to test it out on some totally oxidised 925 standard silver & see if there is more resistance than with no tarnish
