Thanks mate. The medals have been in a bag way too long now. I need to find a reputable restorer to clean them up and put them in an airtight case. I have other pieces to build into a display case as well... I may post about them sometime too. I'm not sure whether to keep them 100% original and weathered or to replace the ribbons to make it all mew and shiny again. I don't want to lose the sentimental value that way, but would like them to sparkle.... Either way it's a worthwhile exercise for me to do 😁.
